Removal and Replacement of Illicit Items

The explanation could be that they didn't have enough time to address ALL the issues (since, we should remember, they also had to deal with familiar hacks and hackers), so.. they couldn't address all the items.

But they probably will keep deleting items, as they said in the update, in the next maintenances.

A more likely explanation is that they put the limit at 14 slots (max for a hammered empress overall?) for all items, instead of trying to look up what is legal for each item separately.
