It seems that continual progress is being made on our beloved Diablo III. With the vast amounts of items planned for the game, creating all of these has to be a time consuming project. So, any signs of progress is a good sign in my opinion.
Diablo: We just finished the most epic Barb armor the game will offer- and it raised some eyebrows!
It appears that even the Diablo team is impressed by their own work. The most epic armor sounds to be just that, EPIC. I think we can all agree that one of the greatest achievements in Diablo is getting the best of the best gear and we all want our characters to look amazing while wearing them. Here is an example of how armor has progressed so far for the Wizard. What do you think and hope the classes will look like in their highest armor?

I really can't wait to see what the Witch Doctor looks like decked out. Honestly though, all I really care about is the masks that he gets. He can keep the loin cloth as his epic body armor for all I care.
It is kind of funny to read that while looking at Barbarian concept art that is at least a few years old.
Maybe it's just me...
You can say that again, case and point --> "Epic Yarn"
But to be on-topic, I think what blizzard is getting at here, is not the highest upgrade possible, but merely some sort of cosmetic armor, like a reindeer suit or something, because like Siaynoq said, everything is "epic" these days...
