Players and PCs will want the best thing they can get and as long as they aren't weapon focused, the lower +X items will get junked.If attack bonus outspeeds armor (3E and earlier), the effect of +X weapons is weakened. The pluses are good but not necessary unless the game forces it.  When you hit on a 4 or more, you aren't compelled to switch weapons for  an extra +1 unless there is is something that encourages it in game (damage reduction BOO! jacked up iterative attacks BOO! immunities BOO!)Never saw a game where armor scales faster than armor but I'd imagine it worse than them as equal.</blockquote>
