Endgame and above mid-level Epic items should only be obtained via dungeons or raids. Epic items that drop as recipes are a good idea, but they shouldn't be better than the high level dungeon ones. They could be better than mid range dungeon drops, but they should be at least hard to craft and the materials for them should be either hard to obtain and be a small amount or be easy to obtain, but require a lot of farming.

I absolutely support this idea!
