why not remove greaves from AC treasure?



Asked: 2000.11.05
Name: Walt
Question Title: why not remove greaves from AC treasure?
Category: Items
Question: If I'm reading Sean's response about the greaves question properly, it's pretty unlikely that there will be any upper leg armor introduced into the game, ever.

If this is true it seems to make greaves pretty useless, as to wear them you essentially have to leave a part of your body unprotected (except possibly by some imp'ed pants). 99% of all AC players realize this and never wear greaves.

Since they're not useful, and that fact isn't going to be changed, why are monster loot drops still including greaves as items of potential value? Wouldn't it be better to keep all greaves out of the treasure system?

Thanks. :)

Name: Sean.
Answer: Because if you can't find or afford leggings, then greaves offer at least some leg protection.
