Now that's a good point, but I think that has to do with resilience? Probably a neglected attribute on the gear when they recently changed the non-optimal gear degradation. While I agree, *that* specific instance should be fixed, I don't think it's fair to say it warrants the ability to not equip higher level gear. Good point though.
