The dungeon journal was just updated and Heroic dungeon gear was just buffed to 571 (Adventurer 1/8).
The Dungeon Journal was updated and Heroic dungeon loot was just increased to item level 571 (Adventurer 1/8). This makes it so that this can cap at a maximum of 593 once you upgrade all your gear. This was previously only Item Level 567 (Explorer 4/8) and could have been upgraded to 580 (Explorer 8/8).
This is a pretty big increase to the available item level from pre-Season 1!

Blizzard still makes the same amount regardless, as we are paying monthly for the game...
Sigh... let me very simply explain how publicly-traded companies work:
Blizzard is a publicly-traded company. As such their primary objective is to increase value for the shareholders so they will continue to invest more money into the company. Shareholders demand constant year-over-year growth. This is impossible to sustain forever but capitalism being what it is, it's what they demand. This has eventually killed countless companies but I digress...
Long ago the key metrics for a successful game staying successful switched from subscriptions to timespent and Monthly Active Users (because subscription-based games started to decline in numbers compared to heavily monetized F2P ones.) So they actively do things to increase those magical numbers on the shareholder reports because when the numbers go up, shareholders are happy and invest MORE MONEY into the company. When the numbers stagnate or worse, start dropping, they get unhappy. Unhappy shareholders are a nightmare for a company.
Every time they do something that results in an increased wait or pads out playtime to accomplish something, it's about those metrics. It always is. Plunderstorm is a perfect example. The transition period between the end one of expansion and the beginning of the next is historically very bad for those reports. So they whipped up a filler mode and attached carrots to it to get as many people as possible to jump onboard. So, no, they do not "still make the same amount regardless."
This is how real life businesses work.

Why the hell is gearing, so time gated this time around, the lvl 80 scaling is already horrendous.
Why do you want to keep it like this for longer, just let us get our gear also the gear better get bumped to 580 automatically otherwise it's just pointless to do HC at this point.
It also does not help that old raid sets are STILL better even at ilvl 580 just give us m0 already
welcome to an expansion release?.... If you want handouts there are other games. Also your as dense as a brick wall thinking you will keep your set at max level when they have already said sets get disabled when you hit 80 so there's no way their better than greens at 556 ilvl which is better stats anyways than the set
