****To play the devil's advocate. ***
It cant be as bad as people believe it was otherwise your Best Set of equipment would look a lot better than:

Best Set of Equipment
worn on finger an iron ring set with a white moonstone
worn on finger an iron ring set with a white moonstone
worn around neck (Glowing) an unholy symbol of the Spider Goddess
worn around neck (Humming) the obsidian symbol of Talshidirus
worn on head the Horns of the Beast-Lord
worn on face a primitive fertility mask
worn on legs some leggings from the snow worm
worn on feet firewalker boots
worn on hands Gauntlets of Devilry
worn on arms a pair of armguards from the snow worm
worn about body an Eagle Embroidered Silk Robe
worn around waist the belt of life
worn on wrist an aquamarine bracelet
worn on wrist (Glowing) a topaz encrusted bracelet
Kal'Fury, flail of the Hunt
worn as shield a shield from the hide of a snow worm
a gaping maw

Because I cant believe that everyone you killed didnt at least have one or two items that could be better than many of the items you were wearing.
