that's why I was so excited with the first incarnation of the Timeless equips, with the Darkness/seal/etc. effects on them. It was new and interesting and it provided a lot of cool opportunities. Unfortunately they changed that to regular skill points, but the possibility still exists, though they would definitely need to balance it (A 10% chance of hitting darkness onto the monster is going to be way more useful on a bow or dagger than on a blunt weapon just due to the way those classes operate).
Point being, we've seen a lot of these things you're talking about are possible, they just really need to start making use of it. Item levels were a nice start but we really need more of that to stop everyone from being a "Pink Adventurer/Face Stomper/Work Glove" kind of guy.
Two things specifically that I want to see are useful class helmets/gloves. I like the idea of the CWK capes, but they are too rare to really be considered reasonable for the average player. Targa and Scarlion helms are simply Zhelms for higher level. I want to see class armor at 130+ actually be worth having. Whether it be through scrolls that add nice stats but can only be used on high level gear or high base stats, it needs to happen. Give us 10 stat clean level 130 gear, then give us scrolls that add 3 stats on a 60 and 5 on a 10. That's 3 60s to pass a zhelm in a single stat, 6 to pass it in 2. Factor in "other" bonuses, such as maybe making your buffs last an extra 20 seconds, 10% stronger, etc, and you have a worthy armor for a 130. Maybe have glove scrolls follow the same scheme for 130+ items - add 3att for a 60 and 5 on a 10, allowing a 60%'d 130 glove to easily pass most common gloves. Give us class specific capes with class relevant bonuses - STR and Acc for Warriors, HP and LUK for Thieves, etc, that maybe have attack scrolls for them or the like. Give us Earrings for each class that have the same. Make it interesting and fun to reach a new level bracket for pineapple's sake.
