I really don't have a problem with it. If you still don't have an answer though armor from special events will give that 36 light armor. Events like Iron Banner or Queen's Wrath (if Queen's Wrath ever shows up again that is) provide ways for players who don't or can't raid the opportunity to get armor with the maximum light level. Although, you may get flack from having that special event armor. Some people get butt hurt when they see others with max light armor not from the raid.
