If you’re talking about armor, sure. Most of my armor pieces are purple because oranges cost a hilariously stupid amount to reroll so you pretty much have to get something with a good stat spread. For weapons, though, you are literally better off with an orange that has NO stats at all than a purple with perfect stats. The damage difference after they’ve been enhanced and transcended is just too big.
Honestly they should have just stuck to two weapon grades for HG weapons and made orange weapons less horrendously rare considering again the rerolls are insanely overpriced so 99 oranges out of 100 are going to be junk.
