Which is why it's been argued before that "magical" equipment should
be rare - A +1 sword might be a warriors treasured possession, kept
throughout an entire career.
One of the reasons I feel CoH has done so well is because you can
create a distinct and /unchanging/ persona in game. Your costume is
your costume and you don't look complete different every few levels,
which leads to a greater sense of attachment to your avatar. And you
can learn to recognise others on sight...
