Thread: Anyone else hope the I-level doesn't go up again in 2.4?

I take a few weeks to a month break for Uni work, currently not in a raid group, and having one hell of a time trying to keep up with all the ilvl100s running around my server. Some people in PF want only 100 for Brayflox runs... I mean, c'mon. :| I'd love a couple of more months to catch up... then raise it.

Have you not paid any attention to the way they've been doing patches? The ilvl only increases when a new binding coil is released. Is there one being released in 2.3? Nope? Then no increase.

In any event, I don't understand what you people want them to do if you don't want an increase in ilevel. Even with horizontal progression, something is obviously going to be better, and you will obviously be made stronger by said thing, so the power level is still increasing just as it would with just a base stat increase. Unless you're implying you don't want to be made stronger. In which case, wtf was that giant thread that was whining that "gear matters too little" going on about, because apparently people are just fine with the idea of staying at the same power level for 6 months.
