Why most of 'Unique' items suck so hard?

Hey guys so i am playing for like a week and i already got like 40 'Unique' items or something like that at first i was really excited every time i saw a 'Unique' dropped but now its like every 1-2h and all the items are so bad like totally useless they are worse then blue items in most cases and they dont give any 'extra' power or trade off they are just pure crap. Lets me show you some of them.

So its like lvling item because it dose not have lvl requirement ? But come on at lvl 15-20 i can get better bow so basically its 'Unique' item that you will use for maybe 20-30min thats how much time you need to find a better one.

Another items that will be used maybe for 5min on really low lvles and there are way more of those that i deleted or never got. So i am stupid? I am missing something? Whats the point of having probably something around 30-40 'Unique' items without lvl requirement that will be used for like 5-30min ?

I really enjoy the heirlooms in wow and its great idea to have some items that would help lvl up another character like Tabula Rasa or some other items that would maybe give us like 50% exp boost in lvl 1-50 or some other cool ideas for lvling gear sadly most of the 'Unique' items that are supposed to be lvling gear are useful for such a short time that is just ridiculous.

And it dose not end there. All the other items are pretty shitty as well. Lets have a look on some of them.
-37% EXP and -40% Rarity so i would have to kill mobs at last 30% faster with this weapon for it to make any sense but obviously the way that armor work in this game make this weapon really a downgrade plus it have all the downside to it. Whats the idea behind this item ? oO?

And so on... i could go through all the item i found and all of them suck. There are maybe 20 or 25 good Unique items. But what are all those shitty ones doing in this game? It remind me of diablo 3 and it really dose feel good when 'Unique' item drop and you are selling it to vendor after 15s because its a crap that no one will buy and it have no use what so ever.

I would really prefer all the items to be powerful and truly Unique even if they would drop once every week or even month! Or maybe i am just retarded and people use those items ? I really dont know what the idea behind most of them they just seem so useless.....

The point of unique items has gone completely over your head. They are just meant to be unique. They have mods that can't spawn on rares. Some of them are good for racing. Some of them just have some nice flavor. They aren't meant to be BiS. If you don't like them, don't use them.

wondertrap and wanderlust used by end-game players farming in act 3 merciless/maps.
sadimas touch ggcleaver gloves until level 30 easily.

You seem to know not what you are talking about.

Some of his examples suck but there are indeed useless unique items. Crown of Thorns comes to mind, I mean I am sure there is a build that can use it but why?

If they are useful for end-game players then why NO ONE want to buy them? In fact some of those items dose have anything unique to them such as

Crap item that you will use maybe for 20lvls or will you use it as end game item for the lvl 5 support gem ? I dont think so.

Unique items only claim to be unique, they arent legendary, they arent even supposed to be stronger than normal items

unique items also dont need to be for end game, very few of them are designed for end game players, maybe 10% of them at most

Not every single player wants to be godly and 1 shot everything without dying, some players actually want a unique experience with unique items

While I do agree about crown of thorns, I have heard that there are quite a few people using it in low lvl pvp. While items should not be directly made for that, there is surprisingly a use for it.

Go figure.

Non-unique chests can't spawn dmg mods, or added x gem mods. So those are unique.

It dose not change the fast that this item simple suck no one will use it after lvl 20-30 so its for something like 1-2h of gameplay with is just stupid

Wait, so you're suggesting that even all low level uniques should be viable all the way to end-game?

Really?

No ARPG has achieved that, and given how quickly we swap gear in these games, I don't see why that should be the aim.

If an item lasts you more than 10 levels I'd say it's a very good item indeed.

Read. Learn.

I am suggesting that lvling items should be more interesting and Unique such as Tabula Rasa.
