GER has high AC and a good amount of Str for a ring slot. It's a nice twink item for DPS'ing but will likely be replaced at end-game because other gear + buffs will put you at 255 str anyways. However, since it eventually gets removed entirely from the game the value of it has inflated. Once the devs flip the switch, no more of these rings will enter the game and the total number in circulation will only decrease since some will inevitably be destroyed by people quitting the game or what have you.
Forest loop is a great ear-piece for any wis caster, the highest I've seen it on sale for was 1k and it's just as common at the moment as the GER. Why isn't it selling for 5k+? Because it will always drop so its perceived value is lower, because more can always be farmed if need be.
But you're correct Giddian, your typical player (even if they're a DPS class) is likely to get more benefit out of selling the ring and buying different equipment than keeping the ring for personal use.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
