Questionable decisions on patch 2.35

[Miakisaki]

stop people from running into dungeons WAY UNDERgeared

This part will not change. The fastest way to bond i45-49 gear now is to get into a dungeon that drops i55-i60 gear and then bond there. This was the wrong way to achieve that goal.

The method that should have used was to simply make it impossible to fall under a certain ilvl with armor changes once you are inside a dungeon. Meaning people have to mix and match and choose what they bond in order to meet the minimium ilvl requirements of the dungeon, because with this fix trying to equip anything that drops you under the ilvll limit will return "Cannot equip. Item level will drop below the minimum." Which would have achieved everything needed to keep people equipped with their gear but still allow some casual spiritbonding.

Now the open world change was absolute garbage, pure SB groups at Urth's Fount bothered absolutely nobody. There is no reasonable argument for that.
