I miss the days when epics were truely epic. And blue items were actually rare or semi-rare. Nowadays the game is flooded with purple, blue is a joke and green means DE or vendorfodder.
I think there should be a tier between epic and legendary. Something that gave you feeling of true accomplishment, but still accessable for non-raiders as well. It doesnt have to be supreme itemlevel or insane stats or procs, it could be on par with raid-epics, but ... something special about it. Maybe unique drops with unique looks. A special ore you could forge at a special hidden forge, to create a special weapon you distribute attributes yourself (within limitations of course). A special piece of clothing.. special leather, etc. They could "drop" from nodes, skinning, monsterkills, bosses, archelogy, herbs, chests.. anywhere. There could be hundreds uniqe items, but 1 of each, on each server.
Right now, Epic is "expected" and there isnt much epic about them. I want my mind to be blown when i obtain an epic piece of armor or weapon. If not, its just rare+.
