FPS games can do it with guns and racers can do it with cars. RDR did it with one of its DLC packs. If you bought a certain pack (I forget which) you got access to guns in Free Roam that those without the pack couldn't use. The loading screen even tells you that hitting someone who hasn't bought the tomahawk with the tomahawk would kill them in one hit.
I don't think anyone kicked up a fuss about that (even when one of them was an explosive rifle. One bullet from that and you are blown to mush.) or when someone used their preorder bonus super car in a Forza game in an online race.
If it worries them so much, tourney players can just not use the preorder gems in tournies and make a list of which gems they can use. Maybe whichever gems give the smallest boost in speed/strength/vitality etc.
As for Pandora, my only problem with it was that you just had to block or run away for 7 seconds and the Pandora user would die. I just read today that another way around it would be to activate your Pandora a second or two after your opponent activates theirs so they die first.
So if they could sort that out, we'd be good to go.
Maybe have Pandora only usable by whoever activates it first in a match. Maybe have guarding a bad choice with a high enough chip damage from Pandora attacks to give the opponent reason to try and fight instead.
