I wouldn't be bothered by someone else doing it but wouldn't stack bracelets myself - feels weak.

Is true - but this also works with
Krupps, with cats, with skull (as I recall) and other items.
This was perhaps the weakest exploitation.

Mmh, to the n00b (me) it seems that this is the normal trade-off between specialization (being very strong in one thing) and versatility (being decent in all or at least many).
Stacking 2 bracelets gives surely some protection but you're giving up more MR, some immunity, more reinvig... oh damn, I don't even have to say all the wonderful things we do with misc slots, it always seems we can't have enough ^^
So to me, it's ok, one of the equipment choices of the game. You can stack 2 items of the same kind, you will have more (a lot with a synergy like Baalz talked about) attack/defence/protection - but you lack now some other kinds of protection or abilities that the enemy can easily use against you.
Just my opinion ^_^

I think that any magic item which stacks with another of the same type is wrong to use.

Please note that I am not against using several items which give the same effect just multiples of the exact same item.

Well i use the bracelets only with the E9 bless, without it the effect is too small. The other slot goes for luck and a possible third slot would be MR bonus or something equal.

I don't think 3 bracelets make sence, the bonuses don't stack perfectly. With 1 you already have a good enough protection against most of troops and against threats like AP, AN or mage spells its quite useless to have even 1.

I think using 1 with earth bless is absolutely fine and I wouldn't feel that annoyed if someone used 3, because it isn't horribly unfair or hard to counter.

It is something that should be fixed though, imo.
