[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 5455884, member: 5890"] Our group having finally got to go off on a big shopping spree, I'm rapidly realising why the commonness rules are needed. Going through the wish lists of all the different characters really makes me realise: 99% of the gear that everyone wants is identical. If it weren't for the fact that we're pretty heavily under standard loot levels, every melee character would end up with iron armbands of power, gauntlets of blood and a frost weapon. Most of the casters would just get the gauntlets and the frost weapon (because we have one person who is doing frostcheese.. and that means vulnerability for everyone). Now with the common/uncommon etc split, we're liable to end up upgrading things that we've found, and trying to pick up a bunch of things that we haven't - and not everyone is going to get everything they're after. It gives diversity, and IMHO that's good. [/QUOTE]
