You want to wear 50 armor at 5? Go ahead, fill your boots. It was as good to you as the best level 5 armor available at around 5000% the repair cost.
While I see your point the thing is it's not only about using higher level gear at low levels. A good portion of us want to use, say, level 20 gear at 50 while still being effective.
I never played 1.0 but I think if they had a system to bolster stats of low level equipment to be on par with endgame equipment someone would have mentioned it.
