Invention Enhancers - Why bother? =P

[Render]

I just feel like I can't be bothered. The return for the effort involved in getting these things doesn't seem to be there for me. :/
Am I alone in this view?

No. Not having all the costume parts available for every toon irritates me way out of proportion to the personal appeal of said costume bits. The temporary powers seem more amusing than useful.
The expiring nature of enhancements has never caused me too much worry--although there was that one time I levelled up and they all went red mid-brawl with something purple: Ding! Whiff! Whiff! whiffwhiffwhiffwhiffwhiff! "Nooooo!"
So I may use IOs for Acc. Or key defensive powers. I suspect at some high level IOs may have a sweet spot vs SOs, and there are some set bonuses that will be nice for certain chars. (mmm, KB protection.)
But in general, the invention system seems more novelty than anything.
However, I like the relatively lootless nature of CoX. It means I spend more time playing the game and less time fiddling with inventory or resource management.
So it's something of a relief to me that IOs didn't supplant SOs and I can continue my casually opportunistic ways--collecting what I can use, selling or giving away what I can't, but not feeling obligated to spend time, effort or inf. to chase particular invention stuff down.
