Naturally, as a gladiator, I'll want to know what gear is best for my class. This is the most streamlined way to show that. It also gives that gladiator a benchmark to work up to. "If I just get 3 more levels I can finally equip that sweet level 30 belt!"
Oh, you're like that. Now I understand why you think such a stupidly restricted system is good.

Well unlike you I would rather have options, diversity, and choice.

When you're saying it's more user-friendly for players, what you're saying is that it's more dictated. But I don't want to play a game where everyone is a clone of everyone else under such imposed regulations/instructions.

So buy a set of gear that you can wear on any class? The old gear is still in the game. Sorry, but that's not a very convincing argument for why this system doesn't work for the game. It's only convincing me that you want to look pretty.
I can buy a set of gear for every class. i might not be able to wear it.
