I agree completely. I like the idea of being less unrealistic and more lore-friendly. I think that Mithril should be a HUGE pain in the rear for evil players to get, because Mithril is hard enough to acquire (In the lore) for the Dwarves themselves. There is such a limited amount of it that Bilbo's coat of Mithril rings is worth enough to purchase the entire Shire. Orcs should not be able to use Orcish tools to get Mithril, as the Orcs occupy Moria, or Khazad-dum, and the only source for Mithril (Which they have yet to get, by the way) is in, perhaps, a forgotten Dwarven store-room far below the surface. Oooooh, Dwarven dungeons in the Misty Mountains....That'd be cool, and an excellent way to get Mithril things, pre-crafted. They should come with flooding, Orcs, nameless things that gnaw the earth far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, an, once per world, a Balrog, until the pre-generated structures are put in and we have an established Moria. That should be how evil players can only get Mithril. I am a good-player-only sort of guy, can you tell?
