Find a better DM, preferably one who's not mentally 16.

The spell caster that wears armor expects to be hit. If you're hiring a spell caster, and they aren't wearing protective armor, they're either confident or stupid. From a meta perspective, why wouldn't you wear protective gear? From a certain point of view, the guy wearing heavy armor and a mace expects to get hit, and wears it to protect himself. Is the spell caster expecting to get in close quarters combat? Can she hit someone with that walking stick she carries? Or should she be frying the enemies from a distance?

I guess I'm part of the problem then?

So wear a nice dress for meetings with clients and sensible gear in the field. Were you not doing that anyway? That's just common etiquette.

>From a meta perspective, why wouldn't you wear protective gear?
Depends on the setting. In Dungeons and Dragons, mage armor only works on unarmored targets, and many spellcasters don't get trained to cast spells in restrictive armor.
