Are there plans to implement iLvL syncing for level 50 dungeons?

Many people posting on the forums would like more challenging content. As it is now, Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep, and other high level dungeons are generally no longer very challenging since many players are overgearing them into oblivion. With iLvL increases, this will only get worse. Aurum Vale, and other lower level dungeons retain some of their challenge by syncing everything down. Can this be implemented for high level dungeons to help keep them relevant?

If the item level requirement is only 55 for the three new dungeons, does that mean the monsters inside will only hit about as hard as the monsters in Copperbell (Hard), etc.? Please make these dungeons a challenge for players who have been level 50 for more than a couple of weeks.

The note says ilvl55 or better! hey haven't specified YET the item level of dungeon, they still could be ilvl70 or ilvl80 (got goose bumps thinking about it)

Since Crystal Tower is supposed to be the buffer from Darklight(i70) to Coil 1-5 and Myth Gear(i90), are we going to continue seeing 20-ilvl gaps after every set of Coil Turns gets put out, or is it planned to have two Crystal Tower patches to set the progression to be in order?

What are you going to do with the item levels if/when you raise the level cap?

Will ilvls be rolled back for the expansion?

When we hit L51 in the next expansion pack, will all of our item levels be rolled back to i50 for consistency, or will players be equipping i100 gear on an L51?

I'm wondering if Patch 2.2 gives a new ilvl cap expansion, and also new crafting recipes to make gears that is beyond than ilvl 70 gears; what about DoH gears since their gear is only can go up to ilvl 55 gears, will they add new DoH gears like Leatherworker's Hat +1 or something like that to increase their Craftsmanship and Control even better so they will able to handle to craft beyond than ilvl 70 gears instead of failing it. This question apply same for DoL classes to increase their Gathering and Perception to gather more difficulty materials around Eorzea. So, Yoshi-P do you have a same idea or something more closely like this? Thanks!

will the BCoB gear be 20 ilvls higher than the currently farmable gear?
Also, is the plan for CT such that it will do what 2.1 did, fill in that gap? or will the two now begin to be more challenging than the last one released? ill be honest i liked mechanics of CT, but it was really easy. and now boring. a challenge will be welcomed!

Can you consider implementing a way for us to socket our own high tier gear so we can fully utilise materia

[Lemon8or]

Can you show us the rest of the new weapons/armors?
