This is far better than having a event exclusive item be controlled by the richest percentage of players who control the price of the item. Perfect examples are Bold Glory and Rudolf Sweater. The Shield has been requested probably before you were even playing this game, if you joined in 2012 as your forum account says, so to have merchants who could simply buy them out and sell for OP or hoard is simply disgusting.
This event isn't ruined. As there are many aspects that are beneficial such as the flasks and auto loots. The new crusader shields provide stats to Gold Loot never seen before.
