Items need to be tested in practice. The default option would be to present a character from a playtest that uses a lot of items. Providing us with a character that uses few items in an article about magic items would be counterproductive. Since they explicitly state that secondary slots are slots you should not worry or feel compelled to feel, I think you are simply reading too much on one character's predilection to collect items. I am not trouble by the 3 main slots at all as I have said before. What could potentially replicate the christmas tree effect on the other end of the attack/defense spectrum though are some of the secondary items. If Bracers of the perfect shot, Shadowfell gloves, Belt of battle provide temporary effects, then they are simply options that improve the game. If even one (doubly so if more than one) provides a static effect though, it implies that the power level is being determined again by multiple additive effects. In keeping with my cautiously optimistic attitude about 4E, I hope they are temporary boosts.Also most items that provide a permanent effect or that allow you to use a X/day effect in 3.5 require to be worn for 24 hours before they start giving said effect. I don't see why they would skip such an attunement period. Or they may skip it and say that once you have used an item in a specific slot, you cannot change it for another one for that day (latent magical energies that identify and attune with the soul of the wearer.)</blockquote>
