How I see it, the issue is that if you spend the time to make a full set of chainmail (which isn't that much), you now absorb 275 health, which is three steel swords to the head. A bento armour set now gives you double the protection. As the Cheif of Waffles stated, making armour more powerful wouldn't work. Battles would be drawn out and boring. Mithrilites would probably regenerate health faster than their opponent can deal it out. I would love full armour, but personally I feel it would only work in a aesthetic way. lol. People with BS would be literal tanks. Big, slow, and strong. But notice how high the Smithing levels are to make it. To make Iron Items, you could almost make a Mith Sword with the level required. And honestly, do you realize how much Chromite it would take to create a full set of BS? To my knowledge, I wouldn't be able to Smith/Craft it with all 3 Chromite Veins. With a single vein of it, I can make Reinforced BS Armor and a Spear or Javelin.
