But yea, the no god/dragon loot thing is pretty slick too.
Skippable things you had to get for the Rogue Epic:

Burning Rapier (Long 30+ Quest)
Rapier of Martune (Plane of Hate)
Eyerazzia (Plane of Fear)
Rapier of Orrin (Howling Stones)

Fleshripper (Sol B King)
Painbringer (Sol B Champion)
Mithril Two Hander (Lower Guk King)
Gigantic Zweihander (Everfrost Karg Icebear)

Robe of the Kedge (Kedge Phinny)
Robe of the Oracle (Ocean of Tears Oracle)
Robe of the Ishva (Paw Ishva Mal)
Shining Metallic Robes (Lower Guk Ghoul Arch Magus)

What these turn-ins got you were a pouch that spawns Stanos, but you never need because he can be spawned with a phrase. Jagged Diamond Dagger, which you never needed because Renux, a mob you have to kill in the quest anyway drops it every time. And the Cazic Quill, which rarely drops from the last fight of the epic.

Further, the robes for the only part not guaranteed by the spawned raid mobs were put into accompanying quest mobs, so that you could just kill them instead of going to Kedge, Paw and Guk. So, yeah, the rogue epic should have been much more epic in scope, but someone had a soft spot for rogues and wanted to see everyone with a Ragebringer.
