First, big gratz for this find.
Second, yea its a shame that Unlimited armors like this dont(lol) drop anymore. I start to see were MA want to bring them. I cant affirmate but:
With this kind of armor, let say they drop a bit regulary, the hunter/owner of one set will not hardcore hunt. Those armor are specialized and will be used by specialists, occasionaly, due to the L.
Now, i realy think MA want to bring ingame some new interesting professions. I dunno what kind though but i think the "fun" of those new professions will be equal at "hunting". Then, ppl will not have time to make the 2 activitys in the same time > hunting will be and stay fun > that realy legitimate the L stuff > the other activitys will be fun and mabe lucratives > that legitimate occasional hunting with L stuff too.
Im mabe wrong.
