Alright, I see your point. But how much do you believe an EA/IWD should be worth? Say its 100 diamonds, thats 25,000 platinum using the 250 base. While not particularly hard for a player with DoPV to obtain, to EA one armor piece to +12 at that would be 300,000 platinum , or 1,200 diamonds. What do you think would be a reasonable price to get one armor piece to +12?

An armor store could be pretty cool, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of crafting a bit? Maybe some of the basic armors we have now could be sold: silver plate, golden plate, and possibly some starter boots and the like, and the better ones to be crafted?

Well, if you're trying to fix without a reset, and quite a few people have a lot of equipment +12 already, unless they trade it, it makes it much harder to the new player to obtain decent AC, and they probably couldn't afford to trade for the +12 equipment...

Perhaps they could implement a quest or two, to be able to +1 some of your equipment for low level players? That way at least there is access, and you can't over-abuse it to get god equipment.
