I wish I could post a reply to GC's post, but no auth means no posting :(

Ilvl compression - its gonna suck at the start of every xpac, but when the alternative is trillions of damage then... /shrug
Honestly, with secondary stat % decreasing as you level, we already do more damage at 80 than we do at 85 in the exact same gear - just another thing that we will have to work past.

For the argument that it's extra work every xpac, I'm sure they would be able to figure out an elegant way to lower the ilvl across the board.

Also, with the whole "can't solo old content" - who cares? Do you really need to be able to solo MC? Why not just take a second person, or several people and decide ahead of time what people will get what.
What
My group of friends does is something like this: Wind Bindings are mine, rep items to the rouge, all cloth to the priest, and the DK wants the 2handers.
Issue solved.

For stuff like being unable to solo Molten Core... it's easy to deal with.

On the other hand, stuff like being able to grab a guild group of level-capped players and take a look at last expansion's end raid? Destroying that, IMO, is a bigger deal with the squish.
