Darkshore Warfront Item Level

[Tizaksul]

As others have already mentioned, this is indeed due to the Warfront attack stage beginning last night, before the start of Season 2.
This exact scenario was called out in the What’s Changing (and Not!) in Season 2 thread posted last week.

Special note: The two Darkshore changes will only take effect after the current Warfront cycle has ended. So if Alliance is attacking Darkshore in a given region when Season 2 begins, and has 3 days left in that attack cycle, that Darkshore will still give Season 1 rewards.

• This is being done to avoid any unfairness to people who had already completed the Warfront or done the world boss just prior to the season rollover.

So for this cycle yes the reward would still be at Season 1 levels, until things change hands and a new cycle begins in Season 2.
