Spirit Binding In Syrcus Tower Needs To Stop

No, it's called getting carried by 23 other players for your own benefit.

ilvl isn't just a number, it represents the average stats you should have at that ilvl, when someone uses field/trade gear or drops below the ilvl you are dropping under the stats required for the content, try doing a full ST run where all 24 players drop below the ilvl/stats and tell me how it ends.

Actually it is just a number thanks to the way SE designed the damage formula's around WD. The fact of the matter is that beyond extreme examples like OP's most SB'ers use their right-side which really isn't as important as a lot of you are making it out to be and doesn't require them to be carried at all. Just to show you using my main job SCH;

AVG HP per Physick
ilvl 70 l/r-side ~ 814 HP
ilvl 100 l/r-side ~ 1123 HP
ilvl 100 no r-side ~ 952 HP

My i100 leftside (listed as ilvl61) heals on average 138 HP more than somebody who's decked in full i70 and just meets the req. So in your example if all 24 players wore gear to SB they most certainly could complete it with ease as long as their left-side can support it. Their's no content in ST that's so unforgiving that an extra 178 HP on my cure or 700HP on a tank or whatever damage decrease will be the difference between a clear or a wipe. If it does than chances are somebodies doing something they shouldn't.
