Because maybe asians >really cant play when it comes to hardcore modes so Blizz gives them an >advantage. ;) 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!
