Since people write about too much eq in game,
maybe my idea would get some of it from circulation.

Romulus Condito, relic collector and shopkeeper from
Lorenchia has eq list (5-8 random eqs) which he needs
(changes every boot). As reward for succesfully
returning those items he would give one random eq
(job for wizzes to code those, or some of the present
eq could be used too).

Each player can get reward once a month. So here we
have nice quest based system which lessens eq out
of this game:)
