I agree it's not an easy thing in this game to work out (reimbursement program). Not bitching or pointing fingers. All of you command types do a really good job leading and trying to make it fair and fun for everyone. Not an easy job.

One way to make the reimbursement program easier to maintain is to set a lower gear standard. Say full banded or something. Players can bring better if they have it (or if we can pass it out), but should only ever expect banded reimbursements. Banded is pretty easy to keep a stockpile of, especially if we do a couple more of those iron farm groups. We get like 1000 ore in an hour or two. That's a lot of armor.
