Ilevel as a concept was abandoned and as such we will never go beyond 119, at least in terms of what people are complaining about here. The only reason the base system remains from the stall at 119 is because too many core features were built upon it. This new way to let everyone become 119 shows that as a feature Ilevel is gone and is now nothing more than a way to be "max level".

They can't remove Ilevel without massive reworks of the game, that is not going to happen at this point in time. So to all the people complaining, are you asking for higher quality 119 gear to be toned back or what? Given reality of the situation what are you trying to accomplish with the complaining exactly?
