I believe that if policing the roleplaying behaviour of the owners of such items require so much time from the staff, giving them to anyone should be reconsidered for the time being. Right now it seems some people want those items so they can wear flashy stuff, without the need to work on their tailoring, or some other skills that come with an itemized reward. I am aware that many of you have very little experience with roleplaying, even though there is a difference between people who try for the first time and sometimes fumble, and the ones that outright abuse the system.
Player-based roleplay policing will - in my opinon - only lead to false accusations and griefing ( " U POSTED SKRENSHOT ILL RESKILLU EVERI TIME UR OUT OF GURDS" ). If you can't trust the players not to abuse the roleplay items, can you trust they won't abuse posting screenshots to try to strip thier in-game enemies of thier treasured roleplaying items?
Mayhaps making it jailable offense to intentionally abuse the roleplay-items-system would help with some people, though it might be too harsh a punishment to others. But how things are right now is not good, and there must be a solution that doesn't require multiple staff members concentrating only on this matter.

What was the start of all this?
When did the cogs of fate begin to turn?
Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now,
From deep within the flow of time...
But for a certainity, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoes,
Under cerulean skies...
