Please remove iLevel

The only problem I have with the current iLevel gear is i feel it is scaled to high. iLevel 90 gear at level 50 which if based on all the gear you get before hitting 50 would mean that this is the equivalent to what average gear for a level 90 would be is way to high. They should have toned it down and had a max iLevel of 55 or 60 at the most at this point in the game for gear and adjusted the gear accordingly.

Will iLevel 90 gear really last me until I am level 90 or will I be getting iLevel 200+ gear by then.

Item level has nothing to do with character level. Its merely a system to separate items into tiers. As new items are added they are placed into an existing tier or a new tier is created if they are more powerful. There are some gaps in iLevel right now that they can use for side content/quest gear when level cap is increased for example.

We know it's a system for tiering but the scaling is all messed up. Because when you're level five and putting on level five required items they're iLVL5. This doesn't start to change until you get to the high 40s and then it just goes completely out of the window.

I'm curious about the same thing AlexiaKidd is; how will iLVL scaling work when a level cap comes out? Is your iLVL90/reqLVL50 Allagan stuff going to be useless compared to iLVL60/reqLVL60 gear or will it stay competitive up until iLVL90/reqLVL 90?

They're probably going to do it in a similar style to other MMOs where the top-end blue/purple gear from the previous level cap will be comparable to the green gears you'll get by the next level cap, or something like that. Whatever the case its likely your best gear right now will be at best mid-tier when they raise the level cap.

Personally I wouldn't be too concerned with that though, the level cap's probably not going to rise until an expansion which probably won't be for another 9+ months, at least.
