No, bad idea: these items are expensive for a reason, and that reason is: IM RICH BITCH
Im serious, if you cannot afford the upkeep these, you ARE a peasant and dont deserve these items, they are not for plebs, they are for us nobles. Their price reflects how they look and not their armour value, noone who is wearing that stuff is wearing it for its min-maxing potential, they wearing it because they are pimps and thats blingbling
