Currently level limits exist for when you try to buy an object from a merchant. In summary, a character can not buy a sword from the merchant unless he is at least the minimum level required for that sword. Has there been any discussion for applying level limits to wearing objects as well? Yes, this is an offshoot thought spawned by lowbies wearing uber eq, but it seems like it would even out the playing field somewhat for lowbies (between elites and newbies), although I'd still bet on the elite to win every time.

A level limit for wearing might not make sense for all objects, but it also doesn't make sense for purchasing either. However, it makes perfect sense in the case of mystical objects. Maybe it already exists on some things out there, and I just don't know it.
