How soon we forget the usefulness of the "trash pink" Sewer gear.

I'm with fluff on this one. I always though that 'trash' pinks (not talking AO pinks, more like Nuri's or Fang pinks) are a great way for newer players, or players without zillions of gold, to obtain a decent set too. Making both sets sparkle, would make them harder to get for reasons fluff already mentioned.
Ideally, purples, greens and even oranges could serve as worthy alternative. Look at sewers, a person with almost no gold could affort a usable set back then, by buying non pinks. I haven't looked at stats of current orange, green and purple gear, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's fairly crap to run in.
So yeah, I'm hoping for only one set to get a bonus, so decent gear is available for the masses in form of the non-set pinks.
One point though, maybe stats could be revised, so that Lv70 pinks would give at least better stats than the current Lv66 angel gear. I mean, shouldn't lv70 gear be stronger than Lv66 gear, even if angel sets were magically sent to us by the STS-gods? LOL
Making the non-set Lv70 pinks better than Angel, would also provide more incentive to go farm for better gear and would be more fair to new players who never got a chance to get Angel sets.
I would even go further and say that 66 pinks should at least be as powerful as angel sets, maybe even marginally better. At least, that's my opinion about it
And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

I agree that armor is too low for the Humania gear and too high for the Angel gear. And since when do mages have higher armor than bears?!? The L70 INT armor has 84 armor while the L70 STR armor has 80 armor. If bears cannot have the highest armor, then what exactly is their purpose?
An easy way to fix this is to make the Humania gear have nice set bonuses, not the tiny 4-6 crit, armor & regen that they normally have. Ideally L66 Humania gear should be at least as good as Angel gear.

I've noticed that more devs play mages, hmm...
Devs, we know what you're up to!
Haha, I was thinking the other day about how Sam and Del are both mages...I've noticed that more devs play mages, hmm...

I agree with previous posters. Armor shouldn't be as high for mages than bears. Sure, int is a squishy stat, but they got mana shield and heal and bears to help.
If there's going to be junk pinks, maybe they can become purple, the current purples become green, and the greens become orange, and the orange become white/stay orange. We already have a rarity system, and the cs has a "sort by rarity" option, so I think it's time to have drops that correspond to the colors.
I was surprised, too. The islander set has higher armor stats than the 'of Humanity' set.
Well, we will see the concept behind it very soon, I hope.
Maybe the crafted str set gives an additional armor and dodge boost to even it.
