Well, in point of fact, I actually agree with you. It would change the
social structure of the campaign WAY too much if it were common - in much
the same way Star Trek's Teleporters would. So while I technically allow
them, they are exceedingly rare (and usually only used to cross into
another campaign!)

But that being said, its pretty easy to use the Star Trek method of getting
rid of them. A simple Spell Sheild or appropriate counter-enchantment would
make the gate useless in any particular situation.

Also, remember the way gates are usually used in fantasy literature,
ancient/tained/rare magic. Not something everyone uses to avoid stepping in
puddles. 

>>>>>>lacking being the mobility.  Is there an item enchantment

Well, again with a strictly literal reading of the rules, I dont see why
Greater Magic Item Creation wouldn't be able to put it on any item.
