    Please, for the love of the Twelve, do NOT implement this! Making players' item level public is what led to the elitism of a World of Warcraft addon called Gearscore. If ilevels are made public, suddenly there will be vote-to-kicks on anyone who comes into a WP run and is too low. And when addons become allowed in this game (which we have been told are eventually coming), it will only get worse.

    The game already has gear checks set up and item level requirements in the duty finder. If someone really wants to puzzle out your gear, they can do it. But don't make it easy enough to see your ilevel at a glance.

    ^ Basically that. It was one of the things I hated the most in WoW, inviting and checking peoples gear score and then kicking them if they thought it was too low for heroics, or having someone else join and asking to boot the lower ilvl'd player because they know/have a friend with a better ilvl. It wasn't really new player friendly, especially the ones that kind of solo'd their way to max level. Just use PF if you're looking for a specific Ilvl.
