I heard along the grapevine that brown ties were finally getting the recognition they have always deserved. I'd just like to say that I approve of any advancements in terms of the brown tie's standing among the many items in-game that, admirably though they may have tried, simply cannot live up to the standards set by the almighty brown tie.
However, the brown tie is not only powerful, but generous beyond all measure, choosing to make itself available at level 1 purely for the benefit of the less fortunate and the disadvantaged. It would be an insult to all the brown tie has ever stood for to rob the njubs of its gifts, so I think it would be in the best interests of all - players and ties alike - if a free brown tie was given to every character in celebration of its achievements and its newfound glory.
All praise the brown tie!
