For the record, I tried this a few times. As fair as it sounds, it mostly
brings fear and misunderstanding because mortals, as a general rule, have poor
research habits. ("What? It cast immolate storm and multifrog at that level
100 party? I'm only level 50, no way can I handle that!")
See, already some of you are trying to figure out which monsters I'm talking
about.
It's a good theory, it just didn't pan out in practice.

It is not a good theory, it's inept at best. You should punish people only
when they actually indulge in camping, not for being tough enough to be able
to camp and then happening to make the item once a year. Far worse than this
is when these de facto level limits are applied to items which are actually
among the best in the game for their bonus and their slot.
PS. Most of my commentary applies to old areas with tunes that got about three
seconds of thought put into them. Most of the newer areas with this kind of
stuff are at least sane in their scope, not that I approve of this kind of
measure to begin with.
