ilvl Requirement "The Broken System"

[ispano]

Using that logic all crafted gear needs to be bumped up 10 ilvl's because it can be melded. ilvl 70 would be come ilvl 80 and ilvl 90 would become ilvl 100

Incorrect. All crafted gear has a cap for every stat that is based on the ilvl. That's why you can only meld a little, say Determination on a piece with it already on it, or none if it's already capped in the case of some HQ items. Also why you can meld a bunch of determination if the item has none to begin with.
