The only problem with this though is with items like jboots or quest items.
People who camped drelzna for hours upon hours or the new Ancient Cyclops

worth it because it's going to cause people to put more time in this game
something Verant try's it's best to do. Speaking of did you know according
to Verant hell levels are a feature?
