Variety of items and bonuses+Visual representation of better gear

[Blizkid]

I remember playing a game that was super popular and now when i look at it it had boring combat, no storyline but it had 1 thing that draw people to it: Items that you could drop and nobody else had them.Everybody was willing to kill mobs using boring combat and with no quests just so they can drop something nobody else had and then show off.There were items with 5 bonuses each and you could have for example +500hp bonus or +2000hp bonus, from -20% weapong damage up to +54% weapon damage and what s important everything between so you had variety of weapons and bonuses.Almost everybody was running with diffrent equipment and felt unique and had posibility to have best gear on the game.Even tho i love asthetic of this game, gathering,crafting and even combat is not that bad but i feel like everybody running with the same gear and they(AGS) adding new items when we all got the best ones already so we can go and get new best gear but we all aim to get same ones anyway.I would love to see gear being in the bigger scale of things and almost nobody have the same items.And then you can come to the city and everybody visually see how good your gear is just by looking at it.They could also add upgrades for gear +1,+2 etc and make special expedisions when if you have all the materials you can by the end of them upgrade said items and they could also glow depends on the upgrade you have.
