You mentioned  the player was already hero 50,so was well past the level 40 required for the vultures helmet.

What was done, unfortunately in my opinion, isn't against the rules, but I think is ruining  new kingdoms, and unfair to people who might believe everyone is starting off on an equal basis.

He is probably already part of a huge clan, and in a short space of time will  likely  have a stronghold and a stranglehold on the kingdom, and if the rest of his buddies, who will have helped him make the current progress, haven't already  novice jumped/teleported  as well, will do so when the  waiting period is up.

L*Yes I know only Malory Archer has one but the amount some players spend is beyond belief.

I can speak from some experience.

After playing for over a year, I have not made as much progress as the player mentioned. 

You have to know your way round the game,but you are right, you need mega amounts of energy to be able to kill enough invaders to get the equipment, which means lots  of real money or lots of gold.  

There are other ways to get materials for legendary equipment, but it still requires a lot of energy and/or help to do so.

 He has to have palace 12 for a Shaman so will have had to speed build once he arrived.

 Levelling up Shaman  also takes some doing, more time, more resources, more energy to kill lots of ghosts, or again mega  bucks.

You have mentionned Sigurd Boots, Leif Broadaxe.. Those are special equipments that require standard material.. So he/she didn't have to kill invaders.. I bet if you look at the rest it will be Bjorn High Boots, Sigurd Hood, Bjorn Spear. The rest can't be above unusual... or rare.

So you have been smart enough to compile a list of specialist items that can be forged with just standard equipment, and suggest the post initiator was in error.

It is easy enough given the information to find the player and check on the facts.

What cannot be above usual or rare.? 

If you mean gems, though its true you cannot combine them to high levels at palace 5, this doesn't me you cannot possess,legendary equipment or legendary gems.

You only have to have a usable novice jump to move kingdoms, after that you can boost build and learn.

If the owners are happy with the way things are going(making money), they are much less likely to change this situation. 

There are other ways to change this without the draconian measures you suggest.

Just because it is possible to do something in a specific time frame shouldn't mean  you are compelled to do so.or face some kind of sanctions for not doing.

I they changed the rules on jumping previously ,possibly over a year ago,however,I think the  kind of jumping under discussion here was going on well before the introduction of the Drakker system ( which in my opinion was a huge mistake), so they are not really circumventing its current rules and restrictions. 

Though it is possible that things may have worsened because of  the introduction of the drakkar.
