Part of the issue right now obviously is the ability to min/max other sets and it could come down to a coding issue as to why we cannot backtrack the tier piece to Draconic etc etc. I present a solution to this problem: The item traded doesn’t still have to be Sanctified. With the ability now to have less Sanctified to meet the requirement for Hard Modes we can at the very least “De-Sanctify” items into other set bonuses: AQ40, ZG, MC, BWL etc w/e. They wouldn’t count for the Sanctify but it would put higher value on the Tier pieces all around.
EDIT: Also fix the damn set bonuses bruuuuuuuuh D:
