Overhaul the armor enchanting system.

Maybe stabilising the market after all of the price changes over the years? Even though the armor would need to be clean for the person that wants to enchant it, the value could possibly stay the same for much of the alchemy items since with a little work anyone with even a trial account can obtain decent armor like marksmanship gloves, full helm of might, platemail of power and other alchemy items, while the rare items can go up in price slightly or by a large ammount since you would have to trade other players for them, as holiday gifts, or win events like it was done from the early days of GK, it could also make joining a kingdom more of a reward since those in charge would want to look out for their own members and occasionally host private events for their kingdom only.

Wishful thinking. I'd love to know why you think it would stabilize the economy when you'd only be able to obtain fully enchanted armor pieces through these limited means:

Fewer +12 equipment pieces in circulation -> Higher sell prices on +12 equipment -> More item hoarding -> +12 Equipment becomes harder to buy.

This definitely won't fix the issue of climbing prices on rare items, nor will it provide an easier way for new players to get a good gear setup going so they don't get demolished in PvP situations. If this new system were adopted, there would still be a lot of +12 equipment pieces out there which aren't bound to a specific player, and no one would want to enchant armor in the future because they wouldn't be able to use the fully-enchanted version of it for trading anymore.

You have to understand, I think of item trading like I do running a business. I'm in it to maximize profits. And if I knew that enchanting clean items would make them become player-bound, I sure as hell wouldn't be investing in clean pieces of equipment. I'd sit on the +12 armor pieces I already have and watch their value go through the roof. Better yet, I'd start to liquidate my monetary assets and stockpile them.

My methods are devious, and I have no mercy when it comes to material gain. It's best to assume that everyone else is the same way.
