[...] To that end, level requirements may play more of a limiting roll while attributes may be more important in determining how effective you are with the weapon you equip.

You can blame affixes for this. Affixes are were things start to get really messy because I at least haven't thought of a really good way to do requirements for them given that a single affix can appear on many different types of equipment over a large level range. So, setting some minimum item level seems the best solution. If an item already has an item level requirement, it just uses whichever is higher. If not, then it just applies the one from the affix. If you have a low-level affix on a high-level items, then you may end up with what seems like a ridiculously low item level requirement.

Now I've got a question to you.

Which game are you referring to?

When I play TQ, I hardly find items above my current toon's level.

If so I would be very happy to have a new item, which is not already underpowered.

[...] many players like to find an item and then play more just to lvl up so you can use that item, I on the other hand love when you egt a cool drop, just pick it up and start killing with better weapon or armor piece.
