Maybe if itembuildr wasn’t built to average existing equipment, we could actually get a decent item. Built shoes and computers are useless compared to the existing items, which have such low stats that they are already useless.

Depends on how ET’s “crossbreeding” algorithm works. If it can crossbreed equipment of different types, it could lead to a much more interesting range of equipment. Imagine a Prune laptop that gave Sexiness, or an Alienwhore gaming rig that grants Processing Power. You might end up with choices beyond “Upgrade to the next ego step”, at least, and perhaps there would eventually be a computer even endgame users would prefer to the existing server.
