When this prospect was first announcement, number crunchers far and wide scaled down our current numbers to what might hypothetically be our stats post-item squish. The general and indeed, overwhelming consensus, was that the item squish likely would not be happening due to the fact that it would make even Level 60 content such as Molten Core, impossible to solo; namely due to the fact that you can only scale down so far before players/mobs end up having HP and other stats in the region of two/single digits. This proved time and time again to be an obstacle in the face of those arguing in favour of the item squish, and with the Blizzard tidbit post concerning Sunwell, it seems they're quite content with things being par for the course concerning the soloing of not just Vanilla's hardest content, but the Burning Crusade's also, and all that it entails;
Perhaps that will be enough to end the debate but i'm sure there will still be those who have heart palpitations at the very mention of big numbers.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
