Apologies if this suggestion has been brought up before, but perhaps one purpose for the spare/duplicate Uniques that we collect can be to shatter them in order to acquire a material that will allow you to upgrade a single affix to T6/T7 (or a chance at upgrade).
External link →Oooo, your LP idea is also very good.
sorry, no, the LP idea gets suggested frequently, I've got a detailed explanation of why it doesn't work around here somewhere if you want.
I am interested to hear the reasoning, even if I also disagree with OP’s idea (personally I find LP exciting and at a pleasant rarity right now).
It boils down to that in order to maintain relative rarity of LP between uniques, the amount of each unique that you would need to collect in order to get the extra LP would vary wildly. Sure you'd only need 7 beekeepers gloves to get that 1st LP but you'd need something silly like 50,000 1LP wings to get a 2LP wings. (I made the numbers up to illustrate the point but it's a big difference)
