Hey everyone, I've played since alpha and beta and got well into the gold dungeons.. Briefly into raids but never that deep into GA and then took a break.
 
Now I have returned and met alot of changes, both to my class, how some systems work, protostar workboards ..etc..
 
The biggest change I saw was that my gear, had changed.. Drastically.
Now, I don't mean my actual raiding gear, but my vanity/utillity gear.
 
For example, http://www.jabbithole.com/items/strain-touched-stompers-37868<-- These boots which was a quest reward from Southern Grimvault, proved incredibly usefull for min-maxing when running large distances and other similiar items with 'Special effects' 
 
I personally think it had a special flair that actually made me want to go explore the world and try to find another item with some cool effect, I remember some pants with reduced fall damage too.
 
The question I want to ask all of you is, Do you miss items like these?
 
Also does anyone know why they were removed? Was it simply because they wanted to simplify loot for easier balancing?

			I think you can find some of these specials as runes now. The runes Quick Feet and the Hut-Hut one from Ultimate Protogames are two examples I can think of. Hope this helps!
