Both outcomes are as unblizzlike as each other.
Option A) Cant find item on old DB's...simply take it out of the game like it doesn't exist.
Option B) Implement all the items you could find, but couldnt find their pre 1.4 stats, at their earliest known state.
For example these Bulky Iron Spaulders, can't find the 1.3 stats atm, but there's this comment from April 2005 (patch 1.3); "Drops off the first guard in north Dire MAul. if you get a good group u can easily farm him once every 5 min till he drops it." So they were definitely in the game.
So whats more damaging, removing them or adding them in at post 1.4 stats?
