Well, this is mostly Lemming's forum, but he asked me to keep an eye on it for the time being. It's entirely possible that we draw the line in slightly different places.
However, since both of us have been known to play restrictive variants, I don't know that you're going to get a lot of sympathy when it comes to you feeling that your need for a particular item is so great that that you need to post about it here. Can't find the item you want and don't want to do runs? My personal opinion would be that you should think about alternatives to the item you don't have. (Murphy says that as soon as you find an acceptable alternative, you'll probably get three Needlers the next week.)
Others will feel differently, of course, but please understant that most of us are quite used to doing without a wide variety of items, so it's a little bit harder to see the pressing need.
In the past, there used to be a lot of information available about what dlvls were the best to find particular items, and on average how many runs you'd need to do to find them. Sometimes taking a look at those numbers can help put the time spent on an item run into perspective. I don't know whether any of that information is still readily available any more, though.:( I'd have to look it up again.

Why can't we all just get along
