Why does reality even factor in to the discussion of armor when we shoot fireballs, raise from the dead, and instantly teleport to places. If that's okay why can't a piece of armor that doesn't cover every single flesh area of a body be magically imbued to extend a protective aura?

Reality and fantasy/sci fi mmorpgs shoudln't even be in the same sentence.

So what is it. Too puritan for some basic human nature?
