I disagree.

Despite you having to have high skill level, it would still exist, and be craftable by everyone. We can't assume that only responsible people will have the flintlock, if it would be added, just because you need lots of experience to make it. There are still LOTS of people who hack their skill levels with Cheat Engine, and nobody would ever know. I have a group of friends that hack their skills every time they play, and nobody ever found out about it. If there is something very overpowered that normal players can make, there is no doubt it would be abused.

(I mean, Mithril is already violently abused as it is)
