For chuckles; after the armour re-balancing they did (which was, in large, a vast improvement) there were some notable pieces that got the short end of the stick. The armoured bear fur, for example, now only has the same protective value as the bear fur -- despite being a tournament piece layered with steel plate beneath it.
And "legionary mail" -- a simple mail shirt -- retails for almost $140,000. Makes you wonder what the legion pays its troops. I think I joined the wrong faction!
The part that irks me is that mobs never drop the armour they wear.Take out a Sea Raider hideout, kill two dozen well armed and armoured men to do it -- and you get a few harpoons and a bunch of leather shoes. Maybe a horse or two. Somehow those mail shirts all disappeared, even off the prisoners you take.
