I agree
But I think, in fact it's not "intended" that players have to reload bunch of times for have the max mod slots, it's simply to add more randomness for looted items. And when you reload, you "reset" item and have chance to generate a better version
But what the point to loot a legendary clothe with one or even no mod slot... it's just good to be dismalte
But legendary clothing sets are not the worst, they always are in legendary version.
In all GIGs (or some quests), if you are level 40 or above, you have a chance to spawn a legendary item in container. But items also spawn in epic. So you must be lucky that it spawns in legendary version (instead of epic).
- For melee weapons, strangely, not a big problem they always spawn with the maximum mod slots (3).
- For clothes, you must pray to have it in legendary and with the maximum of mod slots.
- For weapons, you must pray (very hard) to have it in legendary, with max mod slots and with the effect that you want... A true nightmare... (for a legendary Quasar, with max mod slots and with also the ability to fire 2 bullets per shot, I had to reload a save well over a hundred times, easily and in few playthrough...)
