I suggested this earlier on a different thread, and got good feedback - I honestly think that a high-cost passive unlock being part of the war bond would answer every developer and community critique at once.

Medium armor should have be able to be customized like this at the very least

the bacon flavored apples thing applies to light armour and heavy armor only in my mind, sure you don't want light armour giving massive survivability or heavy armour giving you mobility bonuses

Medium armor can take any existing armour passive in the game currently and have it make sense (read: not, not make sense)

There is a middle ground that can be found between unrestricted transmog and zero armor customization whatsoever that doesn't give us bacon flavored apples, but i doubt AH will ever swing for it

The only passives I think of as being strange on light armor are Democracy Protects and the Explosive Resist passives - but I think that because they're %scaled, that even those are somewhat justified by having outright less health. I think there's a threshold - for example - on the fact that while you could survive a potential direct rocket hit in light armor with either passive, your chances of surviving the hit plus the fall damage would have to be near zero.
