Revocation and replacement of item level system

[Jerbob]

I don't think they'd have to remove any content. From what SE have said earlier in the addition of item levels, everything is calculated on equipment using a formula. They just have to reverse that formula to arrive at the "true stats" on a piece of equipment, without the item level correction nonsense. They would effectively be doing the opposite of what they did right at the start of Adoulin when they "revamped" the Orvail etc. sets with the item level stat vomit. That's why I think reversing item levels is actually fairly realistic - no content needs to be removed, and the "true stats" of items are easily calculated. Once the merits are in place, everything is back to normal, minus the issues that item levels present.

Thanks for the support!
