    With 3 months of uncapped Coil/Poetics, could we get a Challenge Mode

    With almost three months between DF Final Coil and uncapped poetics, I'd really like to see something that both refreshes old content for our entertainment and simultaneously allows players coming in before the expansion to experience fights as they were, by means of a challenge mode that reverts our ilvl back to the minimum ilvl required to enter the fight (offset by Echo), or just above that (where one can then take Echo off, in addition, for the true original fight difficulty).

    tldr; I want the option to experience T1-9, Pharos Sirius, etc. in their original difficulty again, and think that can be most easily granted by a simple ilvl sync.

    Edit: Sorry, poetics becoming uncapped may be a poor assumption on my part. I was basing this off how Soldiery became uncapped at the same time as ST and SCoB, rather than on a new currency type coming out, which seemed to me the more appropriate basis given that no additional gear/currency tier will be arriving until the expansion.

    Indeed; I would just need to farm that Darklight and Myth gear and the loot dropped from the prior turns themselves... I already do this from the time to time, dropping my ilvl to about what it was when helping with old content (usually via my PvP gear for BiS after its ilvl sync). What I'm asking for is an easier means than collecting 12 pieces of otherwise worthless gear, potentially hours of work, to return this difficulty, especially when the same is already done, to a lesser extent, for all but expert roulette dungeons. One mechanic, already in place, applied at varying levels given already set ilvl entry requirements -- done.

    it would make sense to uncap poe, theyre adding the ironworks weapon tome to wod and removing wod's loot lockout in 2.55

    I wish they had brought us that tome ahead of removing the lock-out, which was the case with ST. Made it easier to get, since you wouldn't necessarily be rolling against 7 other people every time.

    Edit- DERP my comment made no sense. I misread what someone else wrote and thought they were talking about new tomestone being added in WoD. And while I do wish we were getting that added before the lockout goes away that has nothing to do with this thread.

    So they uncap poe and we 130 all our classes and then do......what exactly? I know some of us will spam fcob but this isn't an option for everyone. And poetics are still part of bis, both acc required and non-acc required. We all supposed to go out and farm magitek fishing rods or what? They won't uncap poetics leaving over 2 month + abyss to expansion.

    I see I90 T5 parties pop up in PF from time to time. It's definitely something that can be arranged with a little work.
