The one magic item I got to use over and over was a bag of holding -how unironically stereotypical-. And in the context of 5e, adventures seem to be full of the more boring items and many DMs not homebrewing just plain forget to put any items on treasure -or forgo treasure altogether-. In contrast the WBL guidelines of 3e and 4e have allowed me to actually have magic items I get to use, sometimes from the very campaign start.It might sound like I'm entitled or something, but getting two sessions in a row with the same group is a big achievement given my context. To date I've never even seen a Holy Avenger nor a staff of the Magi in play (and quite likely never will), and that is just seeing it in action I'm not even talking about actually owning any of them. Without some way to control which magic items I get, I will never get to play with any of them again. (And for the record I don't consider a +1 whatever truly magical, that is just bigger numbers, nothing that actually changes the way you play or inspires that awe feeling. Making them even harder to find doesn't do a thing to change it)</blockquote>
