Change ilvl restriction to affect each equippable gear slot

I think what you are looking for is a weighted average iLvl. Since weapons have way more of an impact on a character's stats than a ring, a weapon should have more influence in what is considered to be the minimum of gear you need to have to join a duty. This system would achieve what you want, without being needlessly restrictive, e.g. if certain gear slots just don't want to drop for you.

They added average item level to alliance raid to combat ilvl trolls with constant arr raids, this is not enough for me considering people troll with shb gear in aglaia (and will troll in next alliance raid)

But w/e, considering you are defending this, you are same level troll

Again, what was the exact situation that caused you to make this post? You're throwing out numbers but you're not saying where you encountered those numbers and how it impacted your party's ability to complete content.

Or are you just dealing in hypotheticals?

As for artifact weapons, a lot of players just don't care about them. They're not going to go out of their way to acquire one just to make you happy. Expecting another player to have one would indeed make you a gear snob.

I'm not trolling here. I'm trying to get information to understand why you have decided to bring this subject up. Is your concern valid based on a bad experience? Are you misunderstanding something in the situation?

If you won't provide that information, then there's no reason to take the discussion farther.

Probably a tank whos average IL was high enough to queue into a duty but effective IL taking syncing into account was laughably low.

I definitely wouldn't be against the idea of changing the minimum ilvl in PF to affect every gear slot if it meant only the multiples of 5 that gear comes in And are currently available in all slots can be selected.

Now you don't have to deal with there being 20 different PFs with IL requirements all off by 1 from each other, and PF isn't full of obnoxious venue ads either.
