But you'll just have to wait for the overall equipment loot system revamp in 0.82, which will affect that significantly.

It's not so much a "make all existing equipment obsolete" patch, it's more of a series of changes that should make drops less trolly overall and allow people to get meaningful upgrades. Good equipment for your level should be a lot easier to come by, but at the same time it will add a hard level restriction to at least somewhat alleviate the Auction House syndrome where the most common way to find an upgrade is to buy it.

The equipment's level will fix its stats to that level.
Level requirement to be able to equip an item + no level scaling as the player levels up. I seriously doubt that the "less trolly drops" part can make up for it. The next patch is gonna suck.
