Right. The Optimal Level system works fine, it's just not explained anywhere and the data isn't shown properly. Low level players equipping high level gear have no idea how much they're hurting themselves. You don't get nearly as much of a bonus out of Optimal level and it deteriorates MUCH faster.

All the NM/Dungeon gear they've been introducing has class/level requirements though, it's clearly the direction they're going.
