I fully agree with the OP, no real big mean words.

As Fern said, Armor of Eyes is an old item and everybody and their mom nowadays have it, and even classes that don't need unarmored are forced to use it due to the recent changes (Evasion), and old ones (VA, which this was the armor to counter the class, but VA became obsolete as 'frick' lately thanks to the Main Class only Voidveil).

It's also a chore 'having' to grind a thousand years for one (yes, you have no other option, if you don't use it, you're going to be making a horrible choice) every time you're making a new char, aside the part people love to overprice it in shops.
