Sounsyy has the right of it. SE's gear treadmill, combined with the grindy nature of endgame, is devastating to new 50s; I feel really bad for those who've either just hit 50 and end up with super-speedrun groups after Zodiac components or who are coming back and have to deal with "y u no i 110 nub" sorts. 
I much prefer the friendly, learning, chatty groups over the "super fast kill kill kill then yell if something goes wrong" groups. I'll take a dungeon that takes 30-45 minutes where we all have fun, someone learns something, and everyone thanks each other at the end over something that speeds me in silence to some tomestones in 20 any day. (Not that I'm saying people who want the latter are wrong, just that it's not what I want, but it's what I get in DF.
) And hey, if that's what you want too, I have classes for all 3 roles at i100+, I know how to watch a threat meter, and I'd love to blow things up for you. 
As a side note, the item level sync coming back in 2.5 is to i110. Given that the dungeons to which it's being applied are trivial at i110, it's really not going to make any difference.
