Well, I must say I really doubt anyone except the players who go to extremes to optimize characters would even consider time traveling, and even then, the ingredients are very rare. Even after a lot of grinding, you'd be hard pressed to get something godly, EVEN if you were guaranteed ilvl 99, 98 or 80 (which have also been reported) every single Ko rune you manage to find.
If you don't like crafts and runewords, I suggest you take a look at what classic D2 has to offer.
I was under the impression that Worg only tested for affix levels by creating an ilvl 1 item over and over, for most item types. What I suggested would require crafting something over and over with different character levels, something which I do not currently have the will nor the time to do. If there are ANY items truly unique, it would be crafts/rares, so I don't see the validity of your point about every character wearing the same gear.
