there is literally nothing BiS about that wrist other than the fact that it's the highest DEX wrist item that monks can wear. why spend 28k when you can pick up a Sejah Ghulam Bracer (quested, free) and Hardened Clay Bracelet (800-1k)?

a hypothetical monk twink:
white wolf-hide girdle: +13
cloak of flames: +9
circlet of falinkan: +5
white lotus wrist wraps: +3 (+6) (assume no BoBs)
white lotus arm wraps: +7
twisted bone earring: +5
black pantherskin boots: +5
celestial fists: +10
white lotus pants: +4 (+5 if black pantherskin)
+6 neck: +6
black pantherskin shoulderpads: +4

+74 DEX without wasting 28k on a terrible, overpriced item

I agree that Wovin Vine Wristband is overpriced... The argument to make however is first and foremost most monks will reach max dex at later levels w/ buffs especially raiding monks regardless if you want to spend 30k on it or not, secondly that monks who's valued focus is to proc their weapon are a pain in the ass for the tank at all stages of the game, thirdly as you seem to have stated that an equally high dexterity can be achieved with much less plat, and fourthly to say something like its worth 30k because its a BiS wrist slot for monks who want enough dex to proc is making the argument that the wristband is worth what its worth because it meets a set of specific conditions, and applies to a very limited percentage of players in the game. You simply cannot give that much value to something for those reasons, period...
