If it is not broken, DO NO FIX IT!

I think the game needs level restricted armor. As of now theirs nothing really to strive for.

I would say that if your only reason to level up is wearing new armor, then the problem isn't that the armor is not level restricted, but that the game is too shallow and needs more depth and goals.

I'm all for SOME level/class restricted armor, by the way, as long as there's also a sizable variety of generic armor to mantain look variety and the ability to mix and match, and to avoid the "army of clones" effect where everyone with the same class in the same level range wears exactly the same stuff. That would be a very sad step back.
