I'm also with Larian on this one. Give us boatloads of magic items. Give us IWD like item descriptions. In fact give us more items and fewer rule changes.

Magic items are better ways to deal with perceived problems in the ruleset than are homebrew rules. Under the current house rules we're all walking around with +2 weapons because enemy AC has been lowered. Restore AC to MM levels and give people +1 or masterwork weapons I say.
