But as it's been stated before in the thread - the gradual nerf system has been in place (item level upgrades) already since last patch... There's been plenty of time to overgear and go through it while it's still current in relative terms...
It will not be current in relative - or any terms - when the next patch hits, so I don't really see the problem with nerfing it to ground so that even the very last people still struggling with it can move on with their raids..
