Granted, thats just what I think and is not based off anything Blizzard said, so... Lol.

I never liked the idea of different classes having the only proficiency in armors, let the option be there to make the Monk wear plate but make it a little less attractive than leather / chainmail / cloth

Are you planning on restricting armor choices similarly?

Official Blizzard Quote:

There still aren?t any armor restriction planned. Armor is a different issue as it?s shown in much the same was as Diablo II, so more types don?t actually increase the animation/modeling costs like weapon types would.

It is from July.

Excellent, let's just hope they don't decide to change it.
