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?
