It is silly. It forces certain best in slot combos and gives you 'repeatable content' muahahaha

I have been playings MMOs since the early 1990s and this is the only game I have ever played that is actually more fun to PVP at a lower level than at a max level. I mean come on, a lvl 35-40 character shouldn't even put up a fight against a max level character. Other games I have played have identified people simply as skulls if they are too high for you to fight, seems easy and within common sense..

However, here comes ESO wherein I can level a character to VR1 in 10 hours make a full set of hundings, buy the ravager set for next to nothing and achieve godly stats that allow me to absolutely wreck max ranked characters. None of my Vr16 characters come close to 4k weapon damage because it takes to stinking long to get the mats and I do not enjoy repeating dungeons 100 times to get one piece of gear.

ZOS, you really need to fix this.

Do not forget about other Sets like Silks of the Sun Set.
It is really so hard to actually scale it to Vr16 and it would drop from Vr16 mobs.
You would think that as a Flame-based character/build this set is must for you, well no, Julianos gives you more dmg and def. Where is logic in it?

It is because a certain team at ZOS believes that if they are not in full control of gear the game balance would be broken.This is of course the team that couldn't balance a piece of paper face down on a flat desk. History has certainly shown that last statement to be true. It is quite amusing. It is about feeling in control even if they don't actually use that power for anything sensible.

This is the reason you have:
-fixed traits on gear.
-level/rank ranges for some gear types.
-dropped items only dropping on some but not all types of items.
-truly lame sets like willpower/Endurance/Agility +a few jewelry sets that will never be used by anyone.
-jewelry crafting not being added as it should, a simple crafting extension allowing jewels to be crafted for all sets.
-truly absurd arbitrary drop nerfs like they did with Warlock rings back in the day.
-BOP and pathetic drop rates all around.
-many absolutely useless sets that want to make you use full heavy attacks.

All gear in PVP will soon scale to 50...

So your issue is resolved in due time

They didn't actually say that all LVL50+ gear will be brought to the same CP power level as far as I know. The gear power gap Is still there the only thing changed is that you can experience it faster.

As it stands now your gear DOES scale when you get battle leveled.
