I think Blizz have said it's something to do with different gaming
culture in Asia, they have a few other things different too (they
don't pay monthly subs, for example), and they're really big on 25-man
raiding, so their version of the game still has the 25-man = harder
then 10-man thing that we had back in Wrath. Hence the higher ilvls in
25. At least, I think it's harder, although I've no idea how they go
about tuning it differently for different continents, seems a lot of
hassle. Maybe it's not harder and they just get higher ilvl anyway!
