Uniques Should Be Upgradeable for the Late Game! Change My Mind

Hello

I believe that all Unique items should be upgradeable or have a path to be upgraded for the late and endgame. There are so many cool and interesting build possibilities enabled by certain Uniques, but many of them are designed for low-level content or specific farming builds, making them only temporarily useful.

Of course, these upgraded Uniques should then become account-bound to preserve the economy and progression. But at least this would allow us to keep using these iconic items in the true endgame.

The way things often work now, we end up with only one or two truly viable, high-performance builds per character class in the late game, or very niche setups that few players ever achieve. I am advocating for more build diversity and for Uniques that truly allow a class to shine and reach its full potential. Let Uniques define and empower class identities in the endgame, so we can really feel what they're capable of.

Good thing facts don't lie.

In the newest patch, they are buffing and changing underused mechanics. Maybe they should also consider this for Unique items. I think it's a huge waste of potential and development effort to create them only for them to go unused.
