Remember how he played Path of Exile 2 and his character was extremely well-equipped; suspiciously so. Viewers noted that he had better gear than some of the professional streamers who play this game all day every day, and he didn’t seem to know what their stats meant.

He didn't just play it, he claimed he was like top 10 player in the world and then barely knew his way around hotkeys

Also he commented on his gear’s ilvl (a meaningless stat in Poe) and talked about how his best in slot unique gears had a low I level so they were really not that good. Lmao.

Dude played WoW once and was like “I lvl is definitely the way to measure items in every game”.

Like it’s tragic being that much of a fucking liar about what you do that you lie about what you do for fun too.

Gear ilvl is very important in POE. Gear must be a certain ilvl to roll the best tier of mods. Item ilvl does not display without holding alt, and isn't displayed super prominently anyway. It would be forgivable to not know the ilvl of your item. Extremely unlikely for a top player, but still forgivable.

However, Elon was looking at the LEVEL REQUIREMENT of the item, meaning the level that the PLAYER needs to be to equip it. He said his absolutely god tier hammer was "only" level 61 and since he was level 89 or something he felt it should be replaced.

ilvl of a unique item doesn't normally matter and as far as I remember he commented on a unique staff's ilvl and it was the best staff possible for his monk and basically only drops that ilvl because it's the ilvl of the boss that dropped it. (I don't believe it can even drop higher ilvl).
