Gear level, the final nail in the games coffin.

I hope the gearscore required will be just a bit above the absolute minimum required to win, not an elitist level like "full darklight and garuda weapon" on titan hm.

I'm hoping it will be a bit on the relaxed side. No iLvl 30 gear in level 50 hardmodes but not requiring all ILvl 55 for AK either.

Also I hope fully formed parties can enter in their underwear if they want.

It'll probably be

average item level needed for Ifrit: 45
average item level needed for Garuda: 50
average item level needed for Titan: 55
average item level needed for Coil: 60

Full Darklight and Garuda is not at all "Elite". Especially not on a Legacy server where a large portion of the pop started with all of that stuff. My casual EGLS had 16+ garuda weapons by the time the game went down and many of us had DL pieces. Getting DL now is a joke in comparison. 1.0 you had to speed run a much harder AV in under 17 min, pop the right chests, kill the right mobs and then you would have a CHANCE at 1 piece dropping. So for 1.0 it was somewhat "Elite" but not now. Elite now is AFv2 and Relic +1 anything less is pretty basic. And AF is handed out free of charge and with no difficulty. It should never be considered "endgame" gear, it's "Dress up" gear.
