Apologies to those who may find my posts on GW2 forums offensive and hateful.
Salvaging backpieces and aqua breathers
They should just remove rebreathers. They serve no purpose. They have no cosmetic value. They provide no customization. They are just extra gear to barter for and then stick a rune into. If you try to do anything interesting with your armor runes you need to copy it on your rebreather(s) as the mask runes are not used.
Whatever rebreathers were meant to provide they are not providing it. If they are kept in the game they should have meaningful cosmetics, no stats, and perhaps have a utility slot for unique underwater effects. The mask should provide the stats and rune as it does on land.
Rebreathers ARE serving their purpose by being that thing that lets you stay underwater forever, making the world mire immersive/make sense. However they do need to be improved upon with better quality ones available and whatnot. Suprised this wasnt a thing when fractals was released given they had hard underwater content.

Except they don’t:
You can remove it, go to the water and swim infinitely. It could be asumed that clever asuras developed some kind of technology that you can keep inside your mouth and provides oxygen to you and get rid of the breather to be honest.
Aditionally, Largos won’t need it when they become playable :P so I’m all in for the " litle device inside your mouth not visible, not stats, not removing your headpiece, basically being just a lore explanation with no actual effect on your character" version of the breather for playable races.
Btw that version is probably what Bears and Feline pets are using right now too…
