Question Title: When will the robes make it in the loot generator ?
Category: Items
Question: From the dev chat on Nov. 21st Crowley gave the following answer to the lack of robes in the loot-o-matic:

Crowley@turbine> we didn't think that robes were enough of a concern to stuff them into the loot-o-matic.

This is a particularily odd statement - a really quick survey of an IRC channel showed exactly 100% interest in having robes with magic part of the loot generator.

An educated guess would probably put global player interest at close to 100% for this too.

Is there a more evil, "Turbine-doesn't-want-people-to-find-robes-with-spells" explanation to it, or if it is indeed an oversight, how fast can it be corrected?

Answer: Robes will not be added to loot, to preserve the distinction of the Master and Appretice Robes.
