We are currently investigating an issue where PvP gear can’t be upgraded. When hitting the upgrade button the error message “This item can’t be modified” appears. Currently, we do not have a workaround or resolution that can be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience while our developers work as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.
They posted that under “can’t upgrade pvp gear” in support section
They should put a blue post to one of the multitude of Bug reports so places like Wowhead and others know its actually out there. When I first reported my issue, that site was not updated. And they usually close tickets saying go post on bug forums. So why would people check the support section?
What do you mean it as nothing to do with the post. Everyone is getting the same warning for “this item cannot be modified.” Doesn’t matter if it’s pvp or pve. Their upgrading system is having issues.
No not everyone is getting the same warning and not everyone in this thread is talking about PvP gear. Plenty of PvE and Korthia gear mentions. Some people were getting an error message but plenty of others were getting no message or alert or anything whatsoever.
As the OP mentioned at some point in this thread it seems to do with pieces of gear that have sockets regardless of what kind of gear it is.
I was able to get my upgrade pieces to work now (bracers, belt) after the Nov 10 hotfix. I don’t think it was mentioned that it was fixed in those notes but I guess it works now…
