Add iLvl to "Examine"

[Shinebox]

I had a BRD join my Titan EX party. I had it set to ilvl85. I calculated his gear he was ilvl80. He put on accessories from another job to raise his ilvl. This is why it should display when we examine. It's easy to get around the party finder requirements

I'm sorry but thats a really poor example you made there, seeing his ilvl is irrelevent if he is using another classes gear to get into the party. I THINK the feature you actually are suggesting here is that if your ilvl changes while in a party with a minimum ilvl requirement if you now fall below it your removed for the party.

So no more gathering/crafting/leveling other classes/spiritbonding while you're waiting around for the party to fill. Join a PF and be doomed to just standing around doing nothing until the rare role du jour happens by.

How is it a poor example? If the leader and entire party examined him after he joined he would have been asked to leave instead of losing due to low DPS (because he lied about his real ilvl). If the ilvl displayed he wouldn't have joined the party because he knows his ilvl would be displayed once he switched back into his normal gear.

The entire party isn't going to sit there with calculators to determine if the item level joined under is correct. If there was a system feature where party kicked him that would be worse as players would try to get around it using accessories not intended for their job.

Why is ilvl important? It increases your room for error especially in situations like pick up groups. Sure you can do coil in ilvl73 but it doesn't mean you have to.


"The team refrained from making another player's average ilvl visible upon examination to avoid players making party setup decisions based exclusively on the average ilvls of their teammates."

Then why bother putting it in party finder as an option?
