Item Level too high

[Tupsi]

Do you even understand what you're saying right now?

You know, considering you seem to be telling everyone else they're wrong and as you say, "It most likely has nothing to do with character levels", you should probably tell us what item level means, or is it that you actually don't know? Item level in MMOs like this is more of a score thing and makes it easier for developers to design content around an x ilvl average.
