There are ways to cater to newbies without harming the economy. If an item costs 5k TC on release then everyone's happy and no damage is done. If you're heavily discounting a previously expensive item or releasing a limited item to torishop, all of a sudden you're ruining the "investment" to anyone who owned it prior. This can cause damage in many ways.
By releasing limited items toribash staff created an economic bubble of sorts, and now it is being violently crashed. This inconsistent economy prompts people to panic and sell off everything they have, and in this scenario it means there is too much supply in relation to demand. This in turn stagnates the flow of the market, meaning it will only stay the same or keep plummeting until something is done to recover it.
I'm sure a business or marketing major could explain it in way less confusing and more accurate way, but I hope you can understand why that's a bad thing.
