It's always seemed strange to me that gargoyles can wear any gear (naturally, or by altering it), but humans and elves can't even look at garg gear.
Even morph earrings won't last forever, since they were a faction item. They're already selling for 100m. But at least for now, elf-only gear can be used by humans if you fit morph earrings into your suit. As for humans, there is no such thing as human-only gear.
So why can't we alter gargoyle gear so it can be used by the other races? It seems that they could even make it a minor gold sink, similar to mage guildmasters converting gear to add "mage armor". Get rid of "altering" and let the guildmasters for smithing, tailoring, etc charge a fee to convert any item to the equivalent for another race.
You could even expand it to allow the same item to be converted to equivalents for the same race - say 1m to convert platemail samurai to studded leather, or 500k to convert a cloth jester hat into a leather hat. I'm not a fan of mempos on the paperdoll; I'd happily pay 5m to convert a Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune into a Leurocian's Studded Gorget of Fortune.
