Why is this a problem? If all of the items were items that the community liked, then the items coming out of itembuildr would all be items that people wanted, as opposed to items that are designed to no apparent purpose and cost more than the simpler items with higher stat modifiers.

Because, knowing this, if the amount of points available exceeded or even were equal to existing equipment, it would lead to item inflation. If the points weren’t enough to exceed existing equipment when you just dumped them all in one stat, then people would **** as much about having “useless items” as they already do, except with an extra step in the chain.

In other words, either it leads to escalating EQ values, or the same complaints as we currently get.
