Those knuckles? Not very good in primary, and an uncommon drop off a raid mob, barely better damage than a stave of shielding in offhand.

Stuff like eyepatch of plunder, lodi shield, plane of growth armor, plane of hate 2.0 drops, etc, etc make the gear difference between Kunark and Velious far deeper than the gear change between Velious and Luclin.

The point isn't that this stuff is great, the point is that it is slightly better than most of the other options and easier to get. At the middle levels, why would you camp anything in Velious or Kunark when Long Sword of Ethereal Energy is so easy to get? Yeah, they went back and nerfed that quest, but not before everyone had one. Goranga and Centi weapons became the new fine steel. Goranga club is almost a Frostbringer and you can walk a level 1 to ME zone line for it.

Again, I'm not saying it was a huge discrepancy, I'm just saying this was an opportunity to pump the breaks on stat inflation to extend the life of the game, and they didn't take it.
