The very most expensive light and medium armors (since they're removing the exotic ones) are 10 gp and 50 gp, respectively. Only players with the most incredibly stingy DMs or playing in the most resource-scarce campaigns won't have 50 gp to spend by the time they're 2nd or 3rd level. With magic items being optional and not typically for sale, what else are players going to spend their money on? There are few things players can buy in 5e that directly increase their character's power. Armor is one of those things, and that means it's going to be very high on every character's shopping list. Aside from heavy armor wearers, most PCs are going to be wearing the very "best" type of armor within their armor category by the time they're out of the apprentice tier (which only is supposed to take a couple sessions of play). Since all of those other types of armors are rendered completely irrelevant after such a short period of time, I have to question what point there is in even having them in the game at all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
