Teek, with the Mischief rule-set is more fun.
The random loot thing means camps aren't monopolized, and opens up the game because then not everyone has to go to the exact same zones all the time. I got my AC ring from a named mob in Najena, for example.
There are some exceptions. Circlet of Shadow will only drop off of goblin bodyguards, Fungis only drop off of the king etc, and 1.0 pieces only drop off what they should (though in the beginning of Mischief, I actually got the KC Monk pipe from a namer in the Construct room)
Also, in Kunark era, Iksar planar does drop (as well as re-implemented old quests, and stuff like Veksar launches), and it's all free trade so for one, glorious expansion, Iksar have the best armour in the game, and all the Iksar "epics" as I call them are available as well. Greenmist, Pride of the Legion, Demi Lich Skullcap, Skyiron Cudgel of the Ancients, even the Whistling Fists.
