EQ - Wrongly named

I was just thinking about things we have all just accepted as normal.

Void Leggings

Poison Barbed Gauntlets

There are more but I can't quite think of them at the moment. If any of you know of others, please post them. I think we should rename these to properly reflect what they are. For example, void leggings are actually boots. Why the hell are they called leggings? I assume they were first leggings then changed for equipment purposes but the names never changed. I think it's time to update.

Void leggings = Void boots - or we can just call them what they are. Astronaut boots.

Poison barbed gauntlets = Poison barbed armlets

Who lines their armlets with poison? Perhaps Poison Barbed Fisticuffs. Or Void Booties. I'm personally still waiting for my pajama onesie that fills every slot of my EQ. I'd never get full looted, because who would want to steal my piss-stained onesie?

My pet peeve is mobs that are wearing armor in a slot that it doesn't actually go in. But that's just a simple matter of someone being careless with the resets when they built an area.

Who lines gauntlets with poison? None of that crap makes any real sense anyway. Lol.

They're probably gauntlets with spikes. Pointy spikes. Spikes that burn with the fire of a thousand evils.

There are also lots of EQ whose description do not hint in any way to the keyword to pick them.

hey, the bracer of a big enough giant could be a belt

hey' date=' the bracer of a big enough giant could be a belt [/quote']

That reminds me of a D&D campaign where there were hill giants that were being controlled by a wizard through the use of a special "ring" they wore in a "special" place. Keep in mind that this ring is the size of a belt of a gnome/small human. And the giants were homosexual, so when the wizard got captured and tried to free himself with the spell grease, the hill giant got what he wanted, and gained 125xp.

Ewwww. What the hell was wrong with your DM.

I know of a weapon or two like that, and it might be so someone has to actually fight the mob instead of dirt;disarm;get 1.;flee.

Regardless....

Can anyone else think of eq that has a misleading/wrong name?
