The glamour system's limitations aren't really such, for everyone can get to lv50. It's an added motivation to level up, and MMORPGs will naturally want you to play the game. Perhaps they also want for armours to keep a certain degree of charisma; if an armour is supposed to be a symbol of being powerful (in this case, max level), I think it's very fine to keep things that way.
tl;dr: I don't think wearing armour related to your level is a big issue, or a reason to hate the company (?_?) They aren't asking for anything impossible either; just level up! It's great that we're getting a glamour system.
It's still an arbitrary restriction, however this is arguably the more minor gripe. The real big stupid one is that it's restricted to only what your class can equip. That's silly. It tremendously limits the possible outfits we can construct, especially for Disciples of Magic. Tanks will be able to use basically everything and the casters will get to use nothing but cloth.
This also leaves out the extremely attractive DoH artifact armor sets, which are all varied and interesting and could easily be used to create some really visually striking outfits when combined with other sets from other armor types.
There's absolutely no logical reason whatsoever to limit the costuming system this way. It's totally and completely arbitrary. There are no technical issues that would cause this limit, since all races can play all classes and they all share the same animations, anyway. This limit is just as ridiculous as the inability to dye most dungeon sets and all artifact sets.
