There is no point in getting gear when the world scales

I don’t agree. I play about as casually as you can get. No raids, few dungeons, not even Island expeditioons. Yet I have 5 120’s all over 340 and 4 over 350.

I didn’t have any real issues leveling any of them and I seemed to grow in power much more quickly than the mobs. About the only character that seemed to die a bit more often was my Shadow priest.
