Not always that easy, Crier.
I'm in a cooperative and team-spirited guild. And you're right, the boots
are very easy to get. They're not that rare and drop in the entry areas of
Karnors.
However the Singing Steel gauntlets drop deep in Karnors. Unfortunately
Karnor's is a wasteland due to the faction hits associated with it now.
Getting a group in there is difficult. On top of that most guilds are
relatively scattered right now. Even my guild, with over 50 members, has a
tendancy to be shotgunned all over the place :)
The Greaves drop off a named npc which is, from last I heard, now
un-killable since they took out a feature that allowed you to neutralize his
AE attack.
Not everyone is going to just get their guild to do these items. From what
I was told by one of the clerics in our guild the area of Karnor's where the
Gauntlets drop is around level 54 in difficulty and even then was murderous
for them. Unfortunately only 1 set of gloves dropped and a person from
another guild got them. We don't have a large number of 53+ members yet.
Don't just assume that all of us have the resources to just "Go get" these
items. They aren't dropping like candy and are relatively rare.
