Please remove iLevel

[Asiaine]

iLvl is important so people can say: Must have iLvl 90 or go away.

People wish to discriminate in an easy and simple manner to ensure the highest probability of winning with the least amount of effort.

If we wish to get rid of iLvl we will have to change the player base to desire something other than 'more uber gear rawr'.

Sorry, but it's not a personal preference. It's simple math.
I joined AK. We went to the first boss and failed, twice. Not enough firepower. We couldn't even bring it below 50%.
Then i checked our other DPS, a BLM. Full AF, weapon 44. OK, I said, let's check the rest… lv 15 - 18 jewelry and a lv 1 ring.

When I told him "try to get some better equip pieces " he dared to reply "I'm here for that reason". You cannot just FATE your way up to 50 and join DF equipped with such things.
So, if people are not able to comprehend simple requirements by themselves, it's good that iLevel is there and that DF will have it as a requirement.
