When items drop, you have a standard bronze color for all common and uncommon gear, silver color for rare gear and gold for both epic and legendary gear. All ok, except for the legendary drops. When people get a legendary drop, you should get people really excited! Make it that whenever a legendary item drops, some sort of shiny effect happens, make it glow exponentially harder, have it highlighted by a vertical beam.
Because now what happens is: "Ok, I'm about to kill this monster, then I'll pick everything up and then let's see what I got." Basically, you have to wait for the actual list of gear, to see what you just picked up. By making legendary drops more obvious, you add a layer of hype! People see the legendary drop, wonder what it'll be and make them more anxious about the pick-up.

I just hate picking up stuff and then realise, "Oh, I got a legendary... Ok, fine. I'll take it." Instead of "Oh my god, I finally got a legendary again!! What will it be!? Suspense!!!! Dramatic chipmunk moment!! It's a swooooord! Yeeey!!"

    And in some fights you have to decide between the stuff on the left or the stuff on the right.

    I just pick up everything and sell it when my inventory gets full... I currently have 110 slots... 30 of it which is always taken up with gear+reagents... But I do agree....... I hate to see a gold chest drop off JC and get all excited and see that it's just a purple trash item...

    I personally would like to see the items on the floor with the highlight of their color...

    common = white glow.
    Legendary = Gold glow

    Exc ..(:
