I certainly do not expect or deserve Mythic Raid iLvl gear, if I'm not running Mythic raids.
But Legion and BfA seemed to drop better gear compared to Shadowlands loot, and more frequently in M+ dungeon runs in those previous expansions, and World Boss gear seemed a bit better then too, and dropped more often.
Again, I never expect or want Heroic or Mythic Raid level gear from WQs, LOL no way. But I will say SL World Quest drops seem awfully low, I only see like i190 gear, and my main is i209.
Or even running a bunch of low M+ keys on alts, I can run the 4 Mythics for the weekly treasure thing, and still get almost no gear on those runs. That week I ran M+ keys from like +1 to +9 and I think I got one gear reward, that wasn't some crap or just some Soulbind thing, or sometimes nothing at all.
I don't have log analysis from keys, but I can do it from raid logs.
Lets take th same boss from CN, 1st boss, heroic. The best fire mage in 200 ilvl bracket does 4,6k dps.
Average 220 ilvl does 4k. 20 ilvl difference and skilled player still on top here.

I don't mean that gear means nothing. It just means pretty less than average players think. A mere tool. I started to think about it a long time ago and do not care about gear at all, I always try to push harder content without bothering about ilvl, better gear will drop sooner or later, so I do not care at all about it.
Also about top-ranked play: its like F1, where every +1mph is matter for victory, so the best guilds gather best players, best leaders, best teams, best possible gear, best consumables, etc etc. Even 1% difference is matter here. But its nothing for average player. He do not even have enough skill to utilize that difference properly.

Because of rankings Be it official like first top100 mythic killers or unofficial like better rio, etc.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Thats the first boss. That's every pug ever. Try a much later boss.
That mage also got 2 power infusions.
I'm not saying skill isn't important. But average player in 226 is gonna beat amazing player in 200 more often than not. And considering its rarely the best player ever vs average guy, gear plays a more important role. Its usually 2 average guys bs each other, or above average vs slightly above average in same content
Why are people obsessed with dick size?
Because the larger it is the better.
people dont do anything unless it gives them loot. which is why they dont try new things and add different kinds of content. people wouldnt touch torghast if they didnt have to for legendaries. thats why we get dead spots where people cry for new content - that they can immediately tell you is garbage and play it anyway.
im actually happy that they dont listen to the playerbase on everything - the game would have died ages ago if they did.
It’s ok to admit that you don’t like people being stronger than you because they executed the means to achieve stronger gear better than you did. It’s called envy.
I agree, it's a tool but it's a tool for everyone. Better gear allows players to be better at what they do, be it M+5 , +20, normal or mythic raiding or even just messing around doing world quests. Is absolute highest mandatory? No. Is it wrong to want to perform the best one can? Also no.
Because WoW at it's core is a math game and higher ilvl makes the game easier.
It's in a really shitty spot right now for BG's.
If you have a new character your stuck in random BG's that give low honor and conquest against a team of half stacked players or you can spend 20-30 minutes making an RBG group and get stomped by the same stacked players, get shit honor/conquest and have your group disband immediately after.
There is no other option.
In short it makes players feel like hot shit. They think it equates to playerskill and experience at a glance - as if you can't have those if you spend your time differently/don't want to bother with such anal content. Lord forbid you're simply unlucky with loot. For pugging there's no time efficient straight answers so we end up with this nightmare as a substitute because players are scared of a little conversation and love judging each other at a glance. Everyone knew it was a terrible idea but enough specifically asked for it to somehow make pugging easier. And thus this keeps coming up every day as people only care about numbers

If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
It's progress and every bit of progress makes the next bit of progress easier, and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be playing in or discussing an MMO.
The highest ilevel that matters is the lowest ilevel required to complete the content.
Technically speaking and in an “egoistical” male side only, size is probably irrelevant, you won’t have more pleasure if it’s bigger, your partner maybe would but again, your side is irrelevant unless your goal is your partner having more pleasure than yourself.

Powerful gear gives a sense of character progression and makes thing you do easier, regardless what they are.
Two months ago I was making Torghast layer 6 only because with my 195 ilvl layer 8 as an healer just took too much time to justify the little ashes increase in the end and even layer 6 took me 1 hour per wing to finish.
I then stopped doing Torghast due to no more ash needed, today I’m 215, tried to do both wings at layer 8 because I spent all ash I had to change my legendary and I breezed through both wings in a little more than 1 hour total. Hint: it’s not because I’m a better player than two months ago, the damage rotation for healers is plain braindead.
There is no good, no evil, there is only POWAH.

(and in hard content, people don't care about ilvl but a different 3rd party website number. same story higher number gets you into groups and nobody cares how you got the number. until you get to very hard content, where the number people care about changes yet again.)
why do people care? well not in the least because blizzard kinda pushes you to care about it. your ilvl in char screen gets a fancier color if it gets higher afterall.
