The point about upgrades brings up the biggest thing that was left out of the current version:
Set Upgrades!
Of course, I'm biased, since my whole theme of play in the game is Set characters.
Some people point out that some Set items may "break" the game if upgraded. Arctic Furs is the best example, with up to 325% Enhanced Defense plus the bonus, an Elite version could become the highest DR item in the game. I don't see that as being too much of a problem, though. Nobody said that the components required to upgrade it need to be cheap or easy to find. I would just like to see it as being possible, so that you would have something to shoot for.
When playing Set characters the weapons are the big problem, mostly in the Classic Sets. The long-term strategy for those sets seems to be to have something effective available on weapon swap. Too bad that that really defeats the whole principle behind playing the Set character theme.
