We all know the detrimental advantage these gems have over those who don't have them. And with the expansion coming up, if these gems dont get taken care of, then the whole issue of gear imbalance would still plague that expansion. Sooo...
My suggestion is to have these gems only scaled to lv46. Meaning players wont be able to socket them in anything lv47+. In addition to this, make sure the new gear is actually worth wearing. Dont release gear that is worse than before, then what's the point?
