VERY upset, lost over 18k on my Rend Staff?

Disney just doesn't know what they are doing, methinks. They are literally making it up as they go along, very little forethought for items like this.

I am sure they planned the new weapons and said "oh, if we let lvl 15 players quest for fine weapons nobody will buy the expensive weapons... We therefore must make the expensive weapons cheap weapons." An afterthought, poorly executed.

In reality, I don't see why the bar should be set so low for these weapon quests. There isn't much to do after lvl 30 anyway. So why not save them for a higher level? Or until that weapon is mastered. Etc.

Bottom line, this situation seems to have been given very little thought.
