Even though I make myself unpopular with my guild members, I see it in a slightly different light. I would like to make a brief point about the bugged chest and other items in general that where created by unintended crafting methods (for example recombing mirrored items).

For me and many others, these extraordinary items are the real charm of Standard. They exist exclusively there, in an economy completely separate from the current league. They enable a much higher level of min-maxing and creativity that is not possible anywhere else. They make the perfect playground for people who want to push builds to there absoluts limits and this is so much FUN!

If you want a “clean” gaming experience, you have the current league for that.

Standard is an extremely difficult market. Items are available in abundance. Prices are generally high compared to the current league. The investment required to obtain such a bugged item is so high that it takes months to recoup it through farming. The potential that a build with such an item unlocks is not reflected at all in the percentage of the profit earned through farming.

At its core, this is not about economic advantages, but about gaming fun. The only real “disadvantage” of these items is that some people are bothered by the fact that they make builds work quickly and easily.

Removing these items would simply make Standard just unattractive to many players. Let the Standard remain the archive of possibilities.

Cheers
