Average strength of 60, average dodger's defense of 10.

You're forgetting armor defense. And if you're not running any sort of defense on your armor and your base defense is pitiful then yeah, you're going to get wrecked by autohits. Accelia is hardly unique for that purpose.

Why would I ever ask players for input before implementation? I can give you a list of opinions I would get that would be extremely unhelpful.

1) It sucks.
2) Too good (because it's new/different).
3) Why do [x] when you can just do [different idea that has nothing to do with the original idea at all]?

Any opinion I could get on it would be maybe 50% accurate at best, not to mention it would slow down development unnecessarily, and some peoples' opinions aren't worth listening to, to begin with. Unless you've actually, I don't know, experienced the item/whatever for yourself, then your opinion means jack. Even my opinion on something is not going to be accurate at the time of implementation all the time, even if I have logic to back up the reasons why it is what it is, which is why many numerous times, things get adjusted. Just to add to my point, when Accelia was first found in-game, there were so many outcries of 'this item is garbage' that you'd think there was an echo in the chatbox.

I can't really argue against that, since, it really -shouldn't- be what is essentially a weapon you can equip in your shoe slot.

You mean the entire point and idea behind the item? The boots that are made for attacking shouldn't be a weapon?
