Not unless the kingdom bracers are going to come with a +12 enchantment. Seeing as they will be non-transferable, the only way to get +12 bracers will be to enchant the kingdom bracers up yourself (requires you to be level 110, in which case you probably already own bracers), or buy already-enchanted gold or ice bracers (like you have to do currently).

But has virtually no effect on the economy.

But still can't see how the introduction of unenchanted bracers that give no ac bonus has a deflationary effect on the price of +12 gold and ice bracers.

It is my observation that a feeling of hopelessness regarding equipment does not set in until several hours of upgraded play (i.e. after the subscription has already been sold).
