Give Frozen Nightmares Items Different Names than Lost Expeditions Items
I've been selling a lot of Frozen Nightmares drops recently and, at the risk of my own business, I want to suggest that the Frozen Nightmares dropped items be given different names from their equivalent (but much less powerful) Lost Expeditions equivalents.
Here are just a few of many examples of Frozen Nightmares and Lost Expeditions Items with the same names but different stats:

FN: Frozen Bow of the Eagle Req: Level 30, 92 Dex 54–64 Damage, 0.7 Speed, 5 Dex, 1% Dodge, 2% Crit, 3 Armor
LE: Ice Blast Staff of the Owl Req: Level 30, 93 Int 52–82 Damage, 1.1 Speed, 5 Int, 2% Crit, 2 M/s, 2 Armor
FN: Ice Blast Staff of the Owl Req: Level 30, 93 Int 62–92 Damage, 1.1 Speed, 5 Int, 2% Crit, 2 M/s, 2 Armor
LE: Frozen Shield of Blood Req: Level 30, 93 Str 5 Str, 2% Hit, 2 Damage, 15 Armor
FN: Frozen Shield of Blood Req: Level 28, 87 Str 5 Str, 2% Hit, 2 Damage, 16 Armor
Beware that the purple weapons above not only have the same name but the same level. But you can see that the Frozen Nightmares weapons are much, much more powerful. (DanielRH, you'll have fun dealing with this in your calculator.)
A consequence of this naming confusion is that Frozen Nightmares items can often be found for the same price as Lost Expeditions items with the same name in the Consignment Shop. And that means they can be a bargain for toons at this level.
If no one can come up with more imaginative names, I suggest prefixing all the Frozen Nightmare duplicate named items with "Nightmare": Nightmare Bow of the Eagle, Nightmare Shield of Blood, …. This naming would also point out that Frozen Nightmares is a great place to get high-powered green and purple drops, getting more people to purchase it and give it a try.
