IWD's/EA's/Over-powered items

[Mules]

I believe that the whole point of decreasing the spawn rate on IWD's and EA's, as well as releasing newer items that are a lot weaker then the items released in the far past, was a attempt at balancing the game out because some one thought the current items/level of EA's and IWD's out there was giving GK a problem with balance issues, I guess there were a lot of over powered players and a lot of players couldn't compete. But, this creates a lot of problems for people, I will explain;

What's the point in attempting to balance the game out by removing the IWD's/EA's and releasing items that don't stack up even closely to older items, if the only people who really play GK are the people who have these insane items, and weapons/armor that are maxed out already? I could understand trying to balance the game out, but not if all of these powerful items are still floating around.

You now also create a problem with players who haven't played for a while, or have stacked up EA's and IWD's when they were cheap, who can come in and either devastate the EA/IWD economy in a matter of minutes and became insanely rich off of it. So, now you have a player who has played in the past, where all of these over powered items were created, has all of his gear maxed out already and is also making a killing on scrolls.

This system with the reduced spawn on scrolls and weaker items being released has been going on for too long now. The only option is to either start releasing items that compare to the older ones, release the older items again, increase the IWD/EA spawn rate, or remove every single over powered item from the game and start fresh.

I know people who have a lot of expensive items wouldn't take to kindly to their items rarity and tradability being reduced, but I think GK needs to be more then just a trade room. We can still have the ability for plenty of trading, you don't have to give every one 5 Blood Rings and 10 AsoD's, but to release some items for the community to actually trade around would be nice at the least.
