Item Level too high

Can't really have horizontal gear progression with gear only having basic stats. All it would end up being is that you have a lot of useless gear and 1 BiS setup that is theorycrafted the best through stat weights. Horizontal gear progession won't work with the game as it stands, they need to add non-stat attributes first.

That is exactly my point I was hoping someone would point this out ^^ I want our 1.0 stats back...that was a start in the right direction.

One step at a time. They seem fairly conservative atm, don't want to make any huge mistakes. I'm sure the game will get there but it'll take time. I suspect we won't see horizontal gear progression until the first or second xpac.

Even then there is going to be a BIS set in this game that makes horizontal progress not work, the only reason it worked it FFXI and stuff was the armor swapping/necessity of buffing every action separately. And I for one am glad we don't have that silly armor swapping anymore.
