Item Level too high

[Wolf_Gang]

I just can't wrap my head around this. Why do we need to see the number then?

Most games actually hide it from the players, but we do need it to determine what materia drops from assimilating.
Also in 2.1, content will have an average item level requirement.

Because two years from now we'll be lvl 99 or some crap with ilvl 2000000 gear. And that sucks.

Why?

Because two years from now we'll be lvl 99 or some crap with ilvl 2000000 gear. And that sucks.

so we could do ilv 50,51,52,53,54,55 for current gear rather than 50,55,60,70,80,90,95 and have the same stats and when the level cap increases to 55 the ilv90 (or now 54) gear would still have the same stats and be better then the ilv 55 and 56 (and maybe 57) standard easy obtained gear (white, pink, green) at level cap increase.

point is it is all just a number indicating that the gear is a tier higher, i they increase by 1, 5 or 10 it does not matter as its just a number and all that matters is the actual gear and the stats on them (something that wont change from current gear). While the huge jumps 50 >55>60>70>80>90 should have been done as 55>60>60(current 70, dl)>70 (current 80, CT drops) >75 (current 90, myth/coil), to make the transition a bit easier for latter

n the end, its all just a number to say order of strength of gear
