Throw awat the iLv system, implement a PvE Rank system.

Well the ilvl to skill comparison has been greatly lessened since 2.1 came out. Before 2.1, being ilvl 90 generally meant you cleared a lot of coil and capped your weekly myths, both signs you put in a lot of time.

Now almost everyone is 85-90. My 5th job just hit 86 last night (4 are 90) and only bard is below 80. Point with that is that it's easy now. When 2.2 comes out ilvl will (for awhile) be a sign of skill and accomplishment, and then everyone will have it.
What we need are titles, visible titles, for actual accomplishments. Titles for beating Twintania before 2.1, titles for beating Twintania before 2.2 (and none after since that will be the big nerf). Titles for clearing content pre-nerf are great.
