Forgive me for being not in the know but what is full BiS lol

BiS = "Best in Slot", or in other words that your character has the best possible item for a particular slot, for their particular class. A simple example is that for many classes, the "Best in Slot" item for the Primary slot is their class's epic weapon.

"Full BiS" just means that every piece of your equipment is the best possible option for that slot (or at least equipped equipment; I don't think anyone cares how many Vox weight reduction bags you have in inventory).

The whole point of this thread is that the very idea of "Full BiS" is almost exclusively a P99 concept, but many people have forgotten as much (ie. they've forgotten that while Velious has been going strong for 3+ years here, and Kunark went for 6+ years before that, live never had either for longer than a year).
