I don't know about lowering the cap, but, I think this was a typical
Verant reaction to powergamers (of which I was one) Basically, the zone
was really tough before, even when you took 2 or 3 groups as one party.
You still had a damn good chance of many people dying and then spending
a few hours on corpse recovery.

But, a lot of us play(ed) 12+ hours a day. We could afford to take the
losses and still come out of the zone after a few days with what Verant
considered to be "easy" loot. So they nerfed it. However, unlike the way
they nerfed the dragons, which we can still go kill, if we put a good
enough bunch of people together and have a leader who can keep things
together, they managed to nerf it so you don't even have a chance to
zone in before you are dead. That's just, IMO, sloppy work.

OB Bard so this doesn't get kabonged. Almost the only bard only items in
the game are in PoF. Other than the drum, isn't anyone else just a
little bummed out at the dearth of bard specific items? We used to at
least share some of the cool rogue daggers, but they took that away from
us and gave us nothing to make up for it. Meanwhile, after the huge
warrior protest a while back, you can't even kill a firebeetle without
finding some new warrior only armor or weapon. What's up with that? Do
we have to yell and scream until our faces turn blue to get any
attention at all?
