One might be less willing to lock it until it was completely absolutely perfect in that case, which would be a huge risk if they were to get hacked since their good, but not perfect item, wouldn't be locked.

the problem here is, if your account gets hacked:
and you had item locked your item because it had a great potential, say, a 30% mainstat dominator, if the potential can be recubed, a spiteful hacker will drop everything else, use whatever NX you have on you, and recube it.
if, on the other hand, locks prevented everything from being done to an item, and you were still in the process of scrolling your perfect potential item, a hacker that got access to your account could come in and just take it.
either way you can get screwed. something that could work, if [MENTION=10355]Girasol[/MENTION]; doesn't mind passing the idea, is to have two different set of locks, the item locks we have right now, and a second set of locks which lock all the potentials (nebulite, pot and bonus pot)
adds a bit of a meso dump, and allows people to lock their items to their needs.
