This means there will be something you don't like in this game. For you, it's apparently boss dropping stuff you can't use. That's completely fine imo. There are things I don't like too, but maybe you like them? P:G has variety.
Nope. This wasn't a case of "I don't like it personally." I can accept a design decision to have bosses drop inappropriate-to-me items. May not like it, but that's life.

This was:

"Here is an item only a spider may equip." (Spider Harness)

"Here are abilities that only work when you are in Pig Form." (I don't remember which ones anymore, but they were specifically pig abilities.)

There's simply no way to ever utilize that item. If you're in Spider form - so you can wear the thing - you can't use Pig abilities. If you're in Pig form to use those abilities, you can't wear the item.

I can respect "sometimes you don't like things." An item which functions for 0% of players in 0% of situations isn't really in that category.
