@ Orophin. Did you read all of the OP? That kind of drop leads to all the crap that was wrong with XI. "botting, hacking, and poor general treatment of others" and having only trophy drops keeps them ENTIRELY OPTIONAL AND NOT CENTRAL TO GAMEPLAY MECHANICS.

This isn't those other threads you read, this is a different one! If hardcores only chase "elite items" that make them one step closer to god mod, i'd be happy if they're not there. I'd be way happy to see the LS's that show off this gear to be runnin around town in bunny hats as trophies instead of carrying weapons or armors that break the balance.
