For example most of my other classes are around 15-20 (only been concentrating on THM and CON for now), what if some awesome gear was available for my PUG that I wanted to level in the near future, but the closest rank I could do the dungeon on was my CON at 39. With a low drop/no drop restriction that would force me to get my PUG high enough to take in, in order to get the drop. But, what if the other people that you could get to do the dungeon with you did not have other complimentary classes e.g. a healer within the same level range? Then the content becomes unavailable to you until everyone has a suitable class of rank. Players will argue that this is not fair for "casual" players.

If people are mainly complaining that a rank 30 dungeon will not present them with a challenge on their rank 50 class.... well either level another class at a lower level/take in a lower level class. Does it all have to be about a challenge to a rank 50 in a lower level dungeon? Go do the higher level dungeon?
Or SE impose a cap, then some rank 50s will complain that their freedom of choice is taken away and that they are being made to play the game and content in a way that they don't want to.

Do players really want the choice taken away and be forced to do everything restricted to a certain level/rank? Genuine question- I'm not being funny at all- I just wondered why some people are so against one side of the argument or the other.

Me- well if I want a challenge I will do the 50 dungeon.
If I want some of the gear in the 30 dungeon and want a challenge I will do it on a class of appropriate rank. If a few lower rank LS members want me to help out then I will group with them at the appropriate rank and do the dungeon with them. If one day a few of us are feeling really lazy and want to go through the lower dungeon on a higher rank just to burn it and have a bit of light hearted content/fun then I wouldn't actually be hurting someone else or their drops.
I personally probably will never do this, but I don't think the choice should be necessarily be taken away from the people that do. However, as I said before- if they want to cap the ranks according to the dungeon requirements then fine.
Can there actually be a compromise?
your stories are all utopias. first of all at one point you might not have lower level classes when a friend asks you to come help but would prefer you to be level 30, but you wont be able to because you don't have any classes low level anymore, making it harder and harder for new players to get help from veterans and keep a challenge.

Also, if you have a level 50 and you want to do the level 30 dungeon to get gears for another of your level 30 class, you will not go on your level 30 and you know it. No one will if they are not forced to OR if there is nothing better for them by doing it on the appropriate level.
