And to preserve the 'elite' status for the guilds that do have it. I would be interested in seeing the timeline. I recall that when I was in IB, Xzerion said that the Cryosilk Robe would be taken out after the first one dropped. But that was postponed because it wouldn't be 'fair' to only have one artifact of it's type on the server.
