Did gyfin requirement change?
I was wondering if it's still 220 AP Kutum as the general rule or if it's higher/lower now?
I know when the patch went live in KR there were people soloing it... anyone have any idea?

Not tried gyfin yet today, but bear in mind that high AP players soloing it is not the same as low AP (under 220 with Kutum) players clearing it effectively.
People who run gyfin often just want groups that clear it efficiently (on or before respawn). The threshold for this till yesterday wass closer to 230-235 ap with tet Kutum and some elixirs (fewer elixirs needed if group has higher than 230-235 ap). This meant groups tried to get people over 230 ap and the lower end groups accepted people over 220 ap. Some groups also adjusted requirements based on class.
Once people run gyfin after the changes, the requirements to get in these groups will likely change. If 220 ap players can clear it before respawn, most groups would be open to these lesser geared players. If 210 ap players with Kutum can clear it before respawn, groups will open up to these players as well.
Also bear in mind that sheet ap and bonus ap are not one and the same. Ap from other sources historically did less damage than sheet ap. We don't exactly know how this new bonus ap works.
The bottom line is it's too soon to ask. Most groups will require 220+, 230+, or even higher for some classes, unless they notice that they are clearing much faster and don't need as geared a group. If that happens, then eventually the requirements for these groups will go down.
I will probably run gyfin later this week to see how it feels now. The little I have heard indicates that the mobs hit harder and clears are relatively the same.
