There should always be a way for every player to acquire the best gear. Whether it be to save up enough gold to buy it, or loot it somehow. In the case of this goblin ring, there is now no way for someone to get it on their twink, even if they already have it on another toon. The ring should be both stashable AND tradable. Otherwise you will discourage anyone without the ring from participating in twink PvP . Having a 40 armor disadvantage in twink PvP would be like having a 200 armor disadvantage in end game PvP, or basically like everyone else having an arcane ring except you. It's not something you would want to participate in.
