I don't disagree, but they've shown players de-equipping their heavy armour and weapons when they're in the "safety" of their own rented property and I have seen MMOs that have costume armour that literately offers no protection as you're supposed to only use it in "safe zones". I wouldn't say it's too much of a stretch to think that SAO could also do something similar.
I was providing a possible scenario where someone could somehow be one shot killed without having to involve something like massive level disparity. Obviously if you're thinking you're going to get assassinated in the middle of a safe zone you don't go around de-equipping your battle equipment ever.
