Dragonhides suck just a bit too much, so adding another stat like AC+1 would be nice, however, adding stats just because people have requested it is not the way to go. Yes, dictatorships never last, but this is not the same as an actual dictatorship. Staff don't usually meet the demands of the players, even when a vote is held, because the players don't always know what is best for the server, and usually never fully understand the pro's n con's, consequences etc.
I would only support the addition of +1AC to dragonhide gloves, if it means that all dragonhide gloves released before the change will remain as they are. The new dragonhide gloves would be avaliable in stores for a higher cost than they are now, i'd say 40EC's because of their usefulness, even with the side-effect (-15 cold resist). I don't agree with you felix, they shouldn't be upgraded, he won them without AC/WC additions, so they should remain like that, otherwise it would be unfair to anyone who (was crazy enough) purchased them at the time. Remember, EC's take time to gather so don't they deserve it as much as Xaphan?

I propose a new dragonhide glove, more expensive and maybie rarer. Red/Blue Dragonhide Gloves, one with AC+1 and the other with WC+1 (both still with the original dragonhide glove stats just with these additions).
Keeping with the red/blue dragon item themes, the red one would have +15fire and -15 cold resists and vise versa for the blue. The choice of which recieves the AC bonus or the WC is up to you.
These might be in the EC shop, at 40-50EC's each, or just be released as rares for events.
