Yes, sure if we still have these items come the full release I'll be getting rid of them. But we're still pre-release (just!) so we're still in the mode of saying what we'd actually prefer the game to do, rather than how we'll manage if it doesn't do it

Of course, wanting those items in game is a perfectly valid preference too! Particularly for people who don't intend to play and replay the game, so worry less about replayability and losing the distinctive feel of different party compositions and classes.
