Required Class/Rank failed - Can we have Optimal Rank and Favoured Class back?

Edit:

Also, when you're using high level gear on a low level character it's usually gimped to the point that it's worse than gear at your level.

Get this on your thick head: We are - NOT - talking about using gear with god knows how many levels difference and it still being useful; we are talking about being able to use gear with 3-5 level dif and it properly punishing the player without being completely useless, thus allowing quick class changing without the need for multiple gear sets and macros just because you might want to mine a single node and two and go back to killing things. This was the whole mentality behind the optmal level system, NOT using level 50 gear on you R25 character while you raid Toto-Rak.

Edit - I also love that you guys are completely avoiding the fact that Yoshi P stated that class/level locked gear benefits the game as a whole in regard to content and class balancing.

Yoshi-P saying it doesn't mean some people might not completely agree with him and can't provide a few arguments against it, even tho we all know this won't change. This is what we're all doing here, by the way.

Further proof that your entire argument is based on "I was used to it, I liked it, I want to look pretty, and I don't want to have to switch gear". Stop being so damn selfish.

Wait. You're the ones saying people shouldn't be using gear a few levels above them just because people are too dumb to properly gear themsellfs (false), that everyone will just buy level 50 gear (false), and, let's be honest here, because that just happens to be the system you're more confortable with, and 'we' are the selfish ones?
