How would you like certain items to be changed?

This is actually a common misconception. Thief's Knife exists to severely annoy Thieves just by existing. Originally the method through which Thief's Knife was obtained achieved this goal, and now the profound wretchedness of a level 75 weapon achieves this goal.

There was a time when neither applied and Thief's Knife was only "mildly off-putting". For the micro-nihilist who designed Thief's Knife in order to watch some small corner of the world sort of smolder just a little bit, those were dark days indeed.

I think the flaw is in that people demand the absolute maximum TH from a THF- because the idea that -1 TH will cause them to lose millions of 100 pieces/uber items and suffer horribly as a result.

It's why I'd honestly love them to just make a really nice +TH/+Steal/+Despoil H2H weapon and leave it at that. Then if you want the super good shinies drop rate, you're not even going to whine once about the lower DPS while I try and punch that mob with a 300-cap E-rated H2H skill and yoink it's purse for good measure. Putting TH on a dagger just leaves us wondering.
