EU+US Item lvl scaling is dead

Now, I admit, I'm a bit bummed out about this since I'm the highest ilvl 80 twink in EU -- as far as I'm aware.

Normally, I'd be able to pull the entire dungeon without tanking dmg, but now I had a really hard time soloing the first 3 mobs in Ramparts normal, lol.

The 409 gear is now 112 which is only 12 ilvls higher than my Val'anyr, for example.

I guess we're back to optimizing gear now, which is exciting, though.

This is PvE, have you tested instanced PvP?

Not enough friends with 80 toons on beta. Not exactly friendly bg/arena timers for twinks.
