Yeah thats kinda my point, I don't think Red Fens shoulda been that high on the list of priorities for an update.

If I'd had my druthers, I'd say take something like the Attack on Stormreach quest chain, unpdate the loot heavily, *AND* lower the MLs substantially. What the game needs is more TR-twink gear, items that are really good for multiple levels but take time and effort to get.

So, take a good solid chain like that, with a quasi-crafting system, and then make the finished items ML 7-8ish. That would have been a good pass.

Of all the things that bug me about this game, lack of heroic twink loot isn't one.  I have mules full of twink loot that I don't bother to use because Cannith Crafted template sets for leveling are more than good enough.  On top of that, heroic leveling is so easy even on elite and low skull reaper, I wouldn't bother to take the time searching through the mules to find one or two items anyway since they'll be outleveled in a few hours or maybe a day of missions.

The lower epics (20-24) is about the only place I'd say there is a distinct lack of useful gear for leveling.   Weapon options are ok, but armor and accessory choices are very limited in that range for most classes/builds.  Even with that in mind though, I'd take QoL bug fixes for the "tough" things over that.   How long does anyone really stay in that level range?

Or even better, it would be amazing if they'd take some time to fix or even just rewrite the shared bank code so it works like the shared crafting storage and added some useful filtering options for levels, type, etc. while they're at it. 

It'd be a huge QoL for virtually every player in the game.  Imagine being able to store 500 or even 1000 items in the shared bank without it lagging like mad every time you opened it.  It would free up players' character slots for real toons instead of stupid bank mules.   It would also be a huge win for SSG.  They'd sell TP like mad from players buying it to get some realistic bank capacity.

Years ago, I'd already resigned myself to the fact that the ladder bug is going to be a permanent "feature" of DDO until the day it shuts down. It's really beyond a bad joke at this point.

they need to make a monster manual equivalent for named items where you can drop named items you get into a book like a checklist almost, seperated by pack not unlike quests in ddo store. have a one time purchase for the "Item Compendium" which would give you a few pages with f2p named loot storage. each page should be a recognizable screenshot from a part of the chain. so picture a monster manual-esque page with a pic of the top of tempest spine, then scattered about the page are inventory slots with some lore about each named item offered in that chain/quest, for both heroic and epic. then include additional pages with each quest pack- purchase von chain, obtain empty von item compendium page. upon completion of collection of all items per page offer some shitty reward like the monster manuals do- a cosmetic or something. complete von item book and get the cosmetics from the npcs in the chain or xp  or something.

this would create a large amount of new inventory space, as players would be compelled to store their named items in this new feature instead of in their banks. it would give all players a reason to want at least one copy of every named item. it would push sales and play of less desired packs for completionist style players who HAVE to finish the checklist, and those who NEED the cosmetic rewards that are otherwise unavailable. it would enhance the lfg as more players would need more bodies to loot chests more often to pull loot that otherwise would never matter to anyone ever.
it would generate sales and gameplay but only require some basic graphics and a bit of new inventory to be coded. and people would embrace it.
