Well, in hindsight, fungi tunic should've had a reasonably high level requirement when it was introduced into the game 20 years ago. The overwhelming power that fungi tunic represents for low to mid-level toons runs contrary to what this game is fundamentally about, and to be quite honest, I think there's a very compelling case to be made that the game would've been better off without it (as well as a few other powerful items that I won't mention here).
I suppose the existence of such obscenely powerful items with no level requirement is part of what makes this game unique, but that uniqueness doesn't necessarily translate to a better experience. Man, I remember hating it when UberGod monks with fungi tunics would occasionally join my XP groups on blue... I instantly felt useless.

Fungi has an inherent high level requirement in the fact that the camp is not easy to do. Did the devs ever expect people 20 years later to be camping it 24/7 to help level their alts easier? Not a chance.
