You may have a point for shields and BPs, getting to helms, and then on to legs and especially arms though, not so much. Any decent capped toon can make a couple million very quickly. Not to mention most being crafted are arms/legs...so easier to uptier first.
When we do get to people crafting BP/shields a little more, then I can understand wanting the morphed tier 1 first, but then again, I'm a smart spender, and have patience, so I wouldn't waste 7-8mil or more for a 1% bonus for a few weeks. But that's just me trying to help educate the masses since Nod seems to have gotten a lot more stupid as a whole over the last few months
