This renaming is crap.
Why?
Easy, it's called memory patterns.
We won't recall differences between very slight differences but we recall diverse and unique labels. It's also the mechanism used in "branding" (you want to say you have a Gucci purse, not a "mildly experimental purse").
Therefore calling something "upgraded" says very little, they may as well say "meta 1".
Saying Catalyzed Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters is a very unique (and cool) name, you'll have higher chances to recall it's an enhanced AB than just flagging it with some generic adjective.
When I get a shiny axe in another MMO, it's called [Slayer Of The Ages], not "experimental Axe" and these are MMOs for 13 old!
Why does EvE have to do WORSE than a 13 old MMO?
Why are you borking NAMES when you could fix the actual T2 invention 10000000 clicks windows and finally streamline the damn game for real?

That's CCP's new "Intelligence Filter", for situations like these. In order to stop people from making long forum posts which may show how poorly thought out the developer's changes are, CCP's forum now eliminates said posts with a vengeance. I've learned to ctrl-a crtl-c a decade ago before trusting any significant chunk of text to the intertubes. I usually do, didn't this time =/
1) Have Firefox
2) Install Lazarus plug in (saves anything as you type it and will restore it at a mouse click).
3) ...
4) Profit!

I have this genius "I took 3 seconds" idea to actually help newbies for real.
1) Newbie wants his new afterburner
2) He opens market window where there's one innovative element: "show only usable" (like almost every 2003+ other MMO does).
3) He clicks said checkbox.
4) Searching for "afterburner" or expanding the corresponding category in the tree view will only show what he can use. Optionally, add an ORDER BY META_LEVEL clause in the returned items.
Done. No pixels will be harmed in the process.
