Still doesn't change that the number is useful. Part of the problem with gear that you can't tell if is an upgrade or not, is just that. Not all players play to play the numbers game, they want "is it better or not". For the gear that is better for different encounters, it becomes a burden, and then people start requiring you to have multiple sets for different fights... oh this is going to the same place YOU went with ilvl.
