^ hes right, it wouldn't work. armor could be available in tiers, low, mid, and high, low being available for purchase at vendors, mid being quest reward or rare drop from mobs, and high being a reward from dungeons or raids. although our speculation is still a little to early, and really just waiting till the final release is the only way mos tof us will get the answers we want.
