It is evident the 99 cap is a headache, because the team has to go back and update older content to make it align with the 119 cap lol......75 cap was perfect.

New players appear fine with the leveling process, but are overall lost post 99. And I can't help them because this 20 year vet is lost too.......endgame modern XI is just not appealing to me personally.

Everything they are doing now, could have been done @the 75 cap. Granted, I do like to ability to solo steamroll older content. Thus, with the general populace drop, perhaps the 119 ilvl cap was necessary.......
Considering the entirety of the 75 cap era, it most definitely was NOT simpler times. If anything it was more complicated and we had to carry around just as much gear then as we do now, and back then it was a lot harder to tell what was good and worth keeping. In the period of time before we arrived at ilv119 as our "final destination," THAT was the simpler time as with item level gear, there were more clear winners for best in slot gear and fewer "sidegrades." Now that it's been 119 for quite a while, we keep more gear again just as we did back in the day.
