Banded gloves not being available would have meant a bigger market for ringmail, bronze, blackened iron gloves, anything that fills that price point.

It was a minor annoyance. It had so little effect on anything that it was quickly forgotten when it was fixed. It wasn't even vaguely valuable game knowledge. Oh darn, newbies in their mid-teens and some sub-level 10 twinks had a couple less ac than they might have otherwise.

An example of useful game knowledge: You could go to Lower Guk dead side and loot rotting Shin Gauntlets & Shin Greaves. (both better than banded, btw)
