Who said 110? I said 100. Have fun with that reading comprehension.

And the point about 110 gear outside of the dungeon is to allow entry for those who are trying to get INTO the raid. Having it the way it is now puts too much emphasis on ilvl, exacerbated by the requirement of ilvl on raids. This mechanic, the way it stands, fragments the playerbase rather than unifies it - all for the sake of pride and bragging rights.

You say "It can be done in ilvl90." But those who have achieved that are the absolute best of the best when it comes to this game - to the point that one such group was selling Raven Nevermore runs in 1.23. You can't judge average player base performance and gear requirements on the absolute best players in the game, that's idiotic. And Coil 8 has a very, very limited number of players clearing it legitimately. (2 groups as of April first, remember that.) And all 110 Armor pieces from Masterwork is locked behind that.

But all of that is moot - endgame should have been more expansive by this point and it's not. So the playerbase is being punished by the poor priority planning of the development crew.
