I understand what the OP is saying but I dont agree. At this point its just "PAY BACK!!" I remember running WP and AK wearing little more then AF gear. The mobs didnt pull any punches then, so why should we now? Let them "FEEL THE PAIN!" lol It might be nice to have a option to run old stuff at item level, but it would be a hard sell to get many level 50 players to use it. "remember this is just my opinion"
