I'm sure that this has been said before, but I can't be arsed to read through 20 pages of comments. Anyway, what is the problem with needing on a valuable BoE that you can't use? It's a BoE, you can sell it on the AH, you can buy it on the AH. If Stockade Pauldrons are worth 300g (idk the actual price), then winning the item in a roll is essentially winning 300g. The mage can sell it on the AH for 300g, the warrior saves himself 300g by not having to buy it from the AH. If you really need a BoE item, buy it from the AH. If you're not going to do that, why should you be more entitled to it than anyone else?
