This will be the usual sorceress gear about one week after the release of 1.10.

OK, I play legit hardcore, so my idea of item scarcity is very different from what one would see in softcore trading games. For my experience, the last legit SOJ I've gotten was one I gambled in classic D2, and I've never seen a Mara'a Kaleidoscope, Arachnid Mesh, or Griffon's Eye, except in Nobbie's 1.10 beta items package. Also, what time I'll spend on bnet will be in the fresh ladder games where there aren't, at least in the beginning, any duped runes or items. If a new duping exploit is discovered, then you're right that kind of equipment will again be common, but if not, then there's no way that that gear will be generally available "about one week after the release of 1.10." Certainly, they won't be commonly available in hardcore ladder games, which are the only ones I care about.
