Which a lot of people fail to understand... this is not a final game this is our PTR server! thats my point.

So yeah they cant give people free shit even when steven died earlier while corrupted with lvl 20 legendary gear he summoned them to a room and took it back off them not to mess with people character progression adding things to game that shouldnt be at that stage
