Guild Wars 2

I’ve always known you can open bags on lower level characters to get level specific armor to recycle and get t2, t3 and t4 crefting materials, but I’ve never been too interested about it. Now I have to gear up in ascended another character for raids to have more options and be able to fill more roles when my guild is creating a squad. Since I literally swim in ectoplasm refined t5s and I have plenty of ectos, I decided to level up two alts and open bags with them to get Thin Leather, Rugged Leather, Wool and Linen scraps but I have a couple of questions.

Is this considered exploiting?

What level or level range should my character be to get armor that will result in Thin Leather and Wool Scraps?

What level or level range should my character be to get armor that will result in Rugged Leather and Linen Scraps?

What bags should I get and open? Any champ bag will do? And what about Bags of Gear, like the ones you get from completing events in the Silverwastes?

Absolutely not.

Bags of Gear are the ones you want.
