This is armor protection levels of Heavy Lamellar, Transitional Armor, and Swadian Half Plate. A 4 armor boost doesn't really do much but take about 1 extra hit. The point is being that armors are affordable as-is.
the stats here are wrong and the small armour increase makes a HUGE difference. this is the reason why people are willing to splash the cash on gloves and boots which offer little protection in comparison to the body armour. 1 armour point could mean the difference between a 1 hit and a two hit kill which in most games is all the difference. you have also forgotten to include the later tiers of armour. 1mill for trans is a stark comparison to the 20 mill for halfplate. the solution here however may not be in new body armours but perhaps boots and gauntlets. there is no middle tier progression between market place boots and swadian armour variant boots. maybe if a middle tier for boots and gauntlets (yes i know there are plate mitts) was incorporated then we might come close to a more fairly tiered armour progression
