It is about time, but are we getting an update on skills to make actual yellow mods useful?? If not, this is a dumpster change that just kills OTR builds that are already not popular for raids. Further lowering build diversity for no good reason IMO
Developer comment: Generic mods could be stacked in unhealthy ways and the gear mod eco system has not been in a place we are happy with and it had led to some unwanted behavior such as low-level farming for generic mods.While I agree with the intention, I think you guys took too long to implement this change. An earlier warning would have been appreciated. People assumed that the nerf to the mod values were the only and final change and spent more time farming. Unless we are going to get compensated for our time used to farm these mods, I think many people including myself are going to be really upset.

Edit:
TLDR: The devs made it like the nerf to mod values were final. They could have told us earlier on their stance. During that time, more ppl made 19 chars, and those that stopped started farming again... Unless we get compensated in some way(eg. buff skills and yellow mods), it is a dumpster change that just kills OTR builds.
Edit2:
Making yellow mod slot useless for red/blue builds creates more Thrash drops. eg that perfect Fenris chest with a yellow system mod slot

Proper solution to this problem would be to alter end game drop rates for those not removing them.

Yes. System and mod are now just labels on the mod to indicate which types of stats roll on them. They fit purely based on red/blue/yellow status -Fredrik Thylander @Thylander
