You sure get defensive fast.

The topic at hand is the maximum level for a person to be able to use an
object. If you have people wandering in killing mobs to mess with newbies,
you shouldn't make the area worth it for them to bother. I.e.: You make
other newbie areas, set the experience low enough for them to get no value
from it, or simply set some policies against it.

What if they want to have awful armor for a role-playing purpose? Perhaps
they are against wearing metal because it rusts, is heavy, or just plain
shines?

They do not belong in the stock code. If you wish to do it yourself, feel
free. There are also other valid reasons besides this point, which is not
the most important one actually.

There is subtle logic behind the argument against "anyone" doing it. Just
don't try to code policy or unnecessarily limit your players.
