Yeah, technically World Champion doesn't require being level 100.

However, I seriously doubt anyone that wasn't a top ranked PVP specialist capable of defeating the vast majority of level 100 players solo could be a World Champion. The only way that would even make sense is if they became a World Champion back before there were any players who had hit the level cap, and I frankly doubt that they even had such tournaments until after a significant fraction of players had hit level cap, since each tournament involved the creation of a special World Champion equipment customized to the requests of the winner.

In other words, it's the kind of bonus content event that is added after lots of players can no longer look forward to gaining more levels, to keep them interested in playing.
