And the reason is gameplay. Purples are part of the level 50 content. It gives characters at the level cap something to work for.

Purples are extremely powerful compared to other IOs. And also very rare. It was decided that only level 50s would be able to use them to give them one more level of uniqueness. |

Just hang on to em for 3 levels and you'll be fine.

Hint: Put in your bids for your purple set now, and bid kinda low. While you gain those last three levels, your bids will sit there and snap up any low-priced purples. You have a significant chance of getting bargains, and any bids that don't fill you can always pay full price for when you've hit 50.

Yea always found it strange myself, considering you can get a purple drop at any level when you sk up.
Well, if you pay attention it DOES indicate you can't use them yet right in the WW screen. If you are not level 50 and look at a purple recipe, the number 50 on the recipe is red, indicating that it is unusable at your level.

My controller gets snipe recipes too. Same situation: a drop that is impossible for me to use.
It's basically just a way to give level 50's a perk for being level 50, because otherwise there is almost zero difference between being level 50 and being level 49.
Edit: Purples are also the only IOs that give full set bonuses all the way down to level 1. They exemp with you no matter how much lower you are going.

Don't PvP IOs keep their set bonuses no matter what?

I think so, but only the PvP bonuses, right?

They keep their set bonuses no matter what but pvp bonuses and other bonuses work in pvp zones while just the other bonuses work in pve zones.
