Yes, but you can always stop making those topics.

Perhaps, but why? As Fran said the problem isn’t going to go away, even after the Episode III items stop. For a while, hiding the stats encouraged more item creativity, but that hasn’t been the case for the last few weeks.

Since the items are part of Episode III, and Episode III has top priority, fixing itembuildr should be top priority.

If they’re really that terrible, ET always has the option not to include them, or to make them exist only as the two IOU required ones and give them “max ego +1” or something lame.

Like what BobTheSqueakyWeasel said in another thread, that only punishes the winners. Who really needs to be cracked up are the downvoters and spammers.
