Magic items become 'cool toys' and don't drastically impact combat output so it's not critical that every character constantly upgrade their weapon, armour and neck slots to stay abreast of the power curve. It also means that you can capture your players form time to time, strip them of their gear and they can grab any mundane weapons/armour and be completely effective. The most difficult part is having to do character sheets manually since the Character Builder isn't designed to deal with this.

Do you distribute "plus-less" gear normally otherwise for the daily powers? What rules are you using for “bonus” progression to avoid the necessity for pluses on gear?
