The Great Item Squish (or Not) of Pandaria

[WaddlezSparx]

it doesn't matter what they do, mages will still be able to crit 100k + anyway

100k, eh? I crit ~140k-220k as Arcane w/ Raid buffs, the latter end of which is dependent on Boss mechanics and I'm not even BiS yet... I shudder (kinda, after all... we all like big numbers) to think what I'd hit for at lvl 90 with more than the ~10k SP I have if things aren't changed.

Im doin ~20k dps. @lvl 60 i did 550.

big woop. still 3 "digits".

letters are not digits. it's 550 vs 20000, not 20k, as that's simply a way to shorten the actual number in question

Well d'oh, Captain Obvious?

well, if I won't be able to solo old raids because of the Item Squish, I will drop off from Wow for good.

please do the squish method... So much of the past content is lost if we keep exponentially growing ilvl, warcraft is a great game, but you dont see people doing past raids nowadays, only for achievs and transmogs which they do when they are really bored and i think its a waste of funny experiences, because these raids are just great and so much creativity effort were put on each one of them. You need to revive it also!!! And i believe the sqhish method is the way to go!

Numbers aren't a problem, who even pays attention to stuff like this.
Is this an upgrade for me? Yea, cool.
Am I doing more dps/healing? Yea, cool.
That's all I get out of numbers i'm not looking at them going "well now that's too big!"
