The only advantage that mithril holds is that it is stronger than the faction armour against specific weapons if properly enhanced and that it's more durable than normal faction armour. For hardcore players it would be equally easy to simply mine a ton of iron and silver and reforge the armour until it's as good as mithril. Reforging mithril is so expensive that it's really not worth your time and effort.

The thorny point of mithril isn't the armour. It's the weapons, really, because no faction weapons can be as good as mithril weapons, no matter how you modify it. But even there, you can get very powerful faction gear for a fraction of the cost of mithril. I firmly believe that the mod's equipment modifiers were a step in the right direction.

Making mithril any harder to obtain is not the solution. Even if you make it uncraftable and obtainable in loot chests only, it'll only make the hardcore players even stronger, as they spend 12+ hours per day trying to get the perfect set of weapons and armour. The casual players, who only spend a few hours per week, wouldn't stand a chance.
