    The only issue I see with scaling iLevels to a 1:1 ratio (the best option so iLvl 50 = best at level 50. ie allagan/AF2 right now with a re-scale once allagan2 comes out) is to display a tenth of an iLevel on your character sheet for the averages. It then allows you to "see" 10 levels of distinction while keeping iLevels at a 1:1 ratio.

    This also requires that all gear be re-evaluated as new gear comes out (basically just the Level 50 gear) so it fits snugly in the i50 range. This might even require the highest iLevel be either 51 with 50.0, 50.1, ... 51.0 as the gear progression or something similar. Or, make the BiS i50 and current i70/80/90 be between 49.1 to 49.9.

    This allows us to tell apart BiS without some spreadsheet junkie crunching the numbers for the most part while not making these values excessive for future level caps. It also gives us a valid comparison between future level increases while still being able to tell what piece is BiS for a specific level.
