With so many "epics" to choose from when gearing out your character, and these epics mind you ranging in power from lowly heroic dungeon purples to sunwell gear, the "value" of an "epic" has gone down considerably. Think about it, all pvp gear, some heroic, kara, raids, crafted gear.... all epic. It's a joke. Why not just have an item lvl in place of the color of the gear? I'd rather see [Despair lvl 117], than just [Despair] and instantly have a better idea of how powerful the weapon is. It's like when I see stuff like this in lfg channel.. "lf1m tank full epic geared run", usually that means everyone has low lvl epics, and it means nothing other than those characters don't have greens/blues. Yet because epics can range so much, that same group could be sporting sunwell epics with items that are 50+ item lvls higher?
Just put the item level on the gear already, and drop the color--its lost its value.
