Give us a way to receive the Smart Backpack after levelling out of SL starter area, like an NPC that just forks it over because you're cool. (And lvl 50+)
It does, in fact, have a working lightbar even when worn in social... My keeper has one... none of my other toons are lucky enough though.
No social UTIL/HUD slots needed for social light, just give level 50-220 access to the backpack, Please.
