I think that players should need hogher alignment with a faction to be able to equip its leader's gear.

For example, one would need at least

+500 with Rohan to equip Rohirric marshall armour.

+500 with Dwarves to equip gold trimmed dwarven armour.

+500 with Gondor to equip a winged helmet.

+500 with Near Harad to equip a Warlord helmet.

+500 with Moredain for moredain chief armor

+500 with tauredain for tauredain chiefs helmet

etc.

This way the player has to build up a respectable reputation with the faction to wear a high ranking armour piece. Right now, players can get just +1 with a faction and get its high rank equipment, so armour doesnt mean anything for rank. This will signify loyal and respectable faction members, and make ranks easier to tell apart.
