I concur...thats just ruthless. Social items ok, but armor or social items obtained from raids/bosses/encounters etc? ...I think not. I love the look of much of my armor/boss loot and wear it for the look, not just the skills. There is plenty of other cool social items to put in the shop instead.
There is memories attatched to these items too, and often we do hard raids just to get items for looks. Gift from earth f.x
Please don't add armor-replicas or social items thats obtainable all year through encounters.
