So slight exaguration, but in every other area you are much more powerfull with those epics. You can survive longer, more stamina+armor. Kill faster, more spell power or agi/str. There is simply no way to balance any content for both styles of play. Make it a challange for the ilvl80 crowd and its impossible for the ilvl60s. Do it the other way around and its a cakewalk for the ilvl80s.

Yeah, but at least there are upgrades to raiding epics. If you look at the blues in the game there hasn't been any real ilvl increase to keep progressing.
