Light level should come from motes of light and apply to the character. And only use armor for its perks/defense boosts but making it perfectly feasible to wear any armor you want for aesthetics. Of course they'd have to make motes harder to obtain, and ONLY obtained thru xp, not also as a random reward.
Some of the coolest armor in game(for warlocks at least) was around lvl 7-15ish. Then started going towards the one legendary look when close to 20. What dumbass came up with the current system?

While I agree with you, I feel like the equipment leveling is actually an interesting system, it keeps you from being able to farm one area for hours and end up high level, forces you to play the game a bit, BUT, there needs to be more content if that's their goal with this system. That's a whole different topic though. And honestly. I wear rare level stuff on my warlock just because it's cooler, y'know?
