Current content even Kefka is only ilvl 350 content and crafting gear is 350, if you pentameld that gear it is like worth of ilvl 360. I would say ppl that try world first are already over geared for current content. Point of meta is more likely you can clear the content even with 1 - 2 deaths or get fastest speed kills for the fflogs or parse runs in general.
