I like this idea but instead of raising the level requirements for the actual armor seeing some of the stuff is just fun to wear and not completely useless at starter levels. What about still making it lvl 1 gear but having any buffs you get on it a latent effect that kicks in at lvl 75? There is other gear that has level specifice (octave club for one) effects, I don't see why this couldn't be done to other gear as well.
