lvl 45 safety armor set - WTF!

OK, what is with the safety armor?! I mean, at lvl 45 we now have a set that blows both the concept of 'godly' (I saw a set with +42 END) as well as the DEF, M DEF and Evasion - it's WAY BETTER than any lvl 6+ greens or 5+ blues than I have ever seen! This totally screws up the concept of how much is armor worth, what can it be enhanced up to, and forget about pvp with someone wearing a full set of these on! BTW, what's next? What is waiting at level 65 or 85? Should I just hold out for outspark to poop out another rare set of armor? I spent over 2 gold getting a full set of restore... now someone is selling a full set of safety armor for 1.5 gold. This reminds me of the tier 2 recipe scrolls... one day they are going for over 1 gold each, next NPCs are selling them for next to nothing. Come on outspark, if you keep screwing with the foundation of the game it kind of makes leveling pointless. Do the monster's know if you have this ultra armor on? Of course not. Now the gold spammers are going to have a grand old time as people fight to snap up these 'new' rare sets. Way to go outspark... NOT!!!

This goes for the other classes' level 45 purples as well.

Though I don't think they'd last long, they're waaaaaaaaaaaay too out of place for OS not to remove, or to change completely. Otherwise, fuck me OutSpark.

Side Note: Notice how the clerics' level 45 purples take the appearance of the level 2x (or 1x?) gear, while the rest take the appearance of the 9x (or 10x?) gear. Amusing.

So - should they be Nerfd, removed or left alone? There are a LOT of them floating around now (based on vendor count) going for WAY TOO much gold (imho). If you bought 'em, you took a very large risk, but then again - no pain, no gain! If they don't do something soon the 4x levels will be flooded (and my 5x cleric will be sporting them too!). If they remove them that will REALLY piss off some folks (never stopped OS before), especially those who paid 10 gold for 'em. If they Nerf them - we just have some new blue toys to play with, but also some REALLY PO'd folks.
So - thoughts?
