Ac was always designed as a pickup-heavy game, just like the old-time fps'es. Or what do you think pickups are for after all? Granted, due to our stupidity, we messed up the armours and didn't notice until after 1.0, but it's now fixed, and works the way it was always intended.
Still, people still seem to be confusing this with a tactical shooter. I still see players just run past pickups as if they were mere decoration... what you call "pickup-hunt" is a vital part of the concept behind ac. Learn to control the armours and helmets, and you will have an advantage, just like in doom/quake/hl/cube etc etc...
