I really do not understand how some loot items are decided.

Who was it, for instance, who walked into their cubicle one morning at Turbine and said to himself...

"Self, I hate people. I need to find a legal, non-jail-term type thing to get back at the universe, one gamer at a time."

Then it comes to him.


Months later, I keep hunting and killing boars, thinking that maybe, just maybe today is my lucky day and I will manage to carve off something edible. Heck, given how many times I have to slash and bash at the piggy before he falls over, the meat should be pre-sliced and tenderized!

But no. I get a hoof. Sometimes it's even clean. Why one hoof out of four is clean I'll never know, but that clearly means that I should haul it home, because there's bound to be some guy who will buy it for 23 copper.

If I am really lucky, I will also be able to reach into the carcass and yank out "Squishy Boar Intestines". No, I'm not kidding. Oh, and this item is marked as being SPECIAL. It can be used for high end crafting.

Right. I don't even want to speculate what people are crafting out of boar intestine, never mind the SQUISHY kind.

So, Mister Disgruntled Dev, please cut me some slack here. A rack of ribs would be great to throw on the BBQ after a long day of fighting over ore nodes.

Please.



For those of you who actually want boar intestines in your backpack, come on over to Lord of the Rings Online.
