Even if the above two assumptions proved true, the effect of the new items on whatever equipment they are "substituting" would be less than the effect of the Moon Shield on the Dustari Shield as the only way one could acquire the new substitutional equipment is by sacrificing other pieces (or the opportunity to gain other pieces) of the new substitutional equipment (unless of course the equipment of each kingdom has identical stats).
So now we've gone from "a great deal" to "just a little"?

The logic center in your brain is broken Googi, you're an idiot.
For example, right now there are only say, 5 different bracer types?
Furthermore, event coins are rarely distributed, so getting any of them is quite uncommon, and even if you buy them, they cost you an arm and a leg because of the fact that they are so uncommon.
Now, this results in most lower level or casual players not owning or being able to afford bracers.
With the addition of new bracers that are obtainable by other methods, varying from event coins, IE Kingdom bracers, more players will have at least basic bracers, making the the current bracers decrease in value, as bracers are more common and most players have at least a basic pair.
The benefit in economy here is for lower level and casual players to have a more fair chance at having a full set of (at least subpar) equipment, and options to upgrade. Even a pair of bracers with (armor+10) and no AC bonus is still better than no bracers at all to a low level player.
I think even someone as cold as yourself can appreciate what little benefits like that meant when you were level 1.
Again, new players would be less discouraged to upgrade and/or play GK knowing that equiping themselves wasn't such a daunting task anymore.
