That has got to be one of my biggest complaints against people who "make
their own game stuff". When you make new items for the game universe, merely
removing a restriction, limitation, or penalty of an existing item is just
opening the munchkin floodgates. Many game systems have intentionally left
in weaknesses or limitations in things to prevent them from getting out of
control or to keep things in balance.
