Nice, added ^^.

That about sums things up, in a nut shell.

Allagan weapons are the only ones that get buffed to 95 I believe.

Does no one ever just play games for fun anymore?
Seems to me like everyone is only concerned about raising their ilvls instead of just playing and enjoying what the game offers.

Personally, I look forward to everything in 2.1, with PvP being lowest on my priority list XD

Not quite.
Let's compare two rather low IL items, an IL50 item and an IL55 item, Drachen Armet and Sipahi Turban.

What does the Sipahi Turban has better than the Drachen Armet? 1 point of Strength and Vitality. It also has the same accuracy.
Notice the change is very minimal in stats both have and are meaningful.

Let's now compare two currently IL90 items: Wyrm's Mail and Allagan Cuirass of Maiming.
Same attributes everywhere, except the Wyrm's Mail has Critical Hit and twice the Determination, whereas the Allagan Cuirass has Skill Speed and half the determination that the Wyrm's Mail has.

Presume that we get 5 more base (STR and VIT) out of the Allagan Cuirass.

It wold still be Skill Speed and half~ the determination (notice that in the other example of 5 IL of difference the secondary attribute remained the same)

The Wyrm's Mail would still be superior as it has sufficient Critical and Determination to outmatch the extra 5 STR that the Allagan would have. Sometimes the secondary attributes you have are sufficiently important to make out a lesser main attribute. Hell, that is why people consider the IL70 accessories superior to the IL90 ones because you can get more useful secondaries on them in relation to the minimal increase in primaries.

Also take note that anything that isn't body or legs the attribute differences get a lot smaller, I'm not even sure that +5 IL would grant 5 STR of difference, the Gae Bolg+1 only has 4 more STR than the Gae Bolg, and that's because it's strength on a weapon, I presume +5 IL on Allagan will do, at best, +2~+3 to a base attribute, enough that a more useful secondary can outmatch on it's own
