What's up with this change? Must be the most retarded stuff ever seen.. just played some BGs with my level 85 mage. Seems like everybody's level was increased to 89, but gear didn't scale at all. Your base stats increase slightly, yes, but your secondary attributes such as crit. chance, mastery and hit chance are dramatically decreased. Doesn't help much to have 30k more HP when none of your spells is able to hit the target or score a critical hit.
Why did Blizzard implement this sort of a change?
