I already explained how to value them, but forgot to mention combat and non-combat, even though I was thinking about both. You simply create arbitrary prices for every magic item and give players a wealth by level amount to spend on them. For the items that don't get purchased, you drop the price for them. For the ones that get purchased a great majority of the time, you increase the pricing. Rinse and repeat until items are being purchased by the playtest groups, but not most of the time. You'll get very close to the value of the bag of holding vs. flaming sword vs. hat of disguise that way.
Understood.
So in the name of "going somewhere else" I'd like to introduce you to the ignore feature. I suggest you use it. I have.
Be well

This is, seriously a great question. I'm surprised it took the thread this long to get to it.
1. Because they've always been in D&D
2. Because they've nearly always unbalanced the game. 1e and 2e were notorious in this regard.
3. Because players who have earned them deserve to unbalance the game provided they got them through game-play
4. Because they are rare enough that the players who can unbalance the game should be exceptions.
5. Last, it's because of the preceding four statements that 5e is slanted against buying items
6. The arbiter in balance needs to be the table's DM because he or she is the only one who can determine what's going on at his or her table.
7. Just because a book or adventure has items in it, does not mean that the item needs to be entered into play.
Thanks and Be well

Are you... taking the high road by announcing this?

I dislike both cyber bullying general and specifcally being cyber bullied by being forced against my will to block someone. It's my moral obligation to stand up against it as I did.

You've used this line of...of...god I hate to debase the word "reasoning"...in the past.
First, look up the definition of bullying. There is a formal definition. It requires imbalance of power, repetition, and real harm. This is not bullying. Just because you feel bad does not make it bullying.
Second, the "block" feature is doing exactly what it is designed to do. According to your characterization of it, there could be no legitimate use for it unless both parties agree to block each other. That's just silly.
If you really want to read Kobold Boot's post, you can log out and read the forums anonymously. Problem solved. Stop whining.
Thanks for clarifying your moral high ground. Down here in the trenches, it almost sounded like you were being childish, too, but you clearly had to take action when this awful person forced you to do something against your will.
