The Daily Grind: Do you miss maker's marks in MMOs?

UO

An off-hand joke in the Massively team email last week prompted a neat conversation about items in MMOs -- specifically, crafted items that have maker's marks attached to them so that players know which characters made them, even as they're traded from player to player through the years. Sadly, MMOs' insistence on bind-on-pickup items frequently makes discovering a crafted item made by someone famous, someone with a cool name, or someone who left the game years ago less possible.

Do you miss such items in MMOs? Can you think of modern MMOs that include maker's marks?
