Square also has a problem with putting low item level in endgame dungeons too. Example: Haukke Manor (Hard) is listed as iLvl 48. You really can't complete it with iLvl 48 unless your DPSes are just completely and totally on their best game ever.

Like, my friend and I ran it last night (I'm iLvl 55 WHM and he's iLvl 62 PLD) and wiped six times against Halicarnassus because our two DPSes were running lower level gear and just couldn't output enough damage to down the adds quickly enough.

I'm all about helping new players out, but I think Hard Mode dungeons and certain other endgame content should probably have higher iLvl restrictions in place, because otherwise its just frustrating to run things. Not because the players are terrible (some are, but most aren't), but because the mechanics can just be unforgiving for people who don't have decent gear.
