Yesterday I got into a titan HM trial (iirc only need i57) where the pld has full i90 myth gear save for the 1 ring...and a cobalt samshir and some lvl 40 shield. He said he has never done the fight before (there was indeed a myth bonus) but the party let him main tank it. I was about to point it out but they already pulled. Needless to say, we had to do a 2nd attempt. I'm not joking.

I don't know how the expansion ilvl structure is going to be like, but if there's a 'standard' starting ilvl for the new lvl cap (right now our light dungeons goes up to i80 and will probably end at i100 at 2.5, the supposed last patch before expansion), I would not be surprised if they start handing out i100+ gear as you level up with quest rewards so that new players starting from expansion will be able to jump in into the expansion content straight away with 'friends'. All the gear that we have so far will be nothing but glamour novelties, and so will be the content that drops these gears (see: levi ex).
