FCoB ilvl Requirement too high?

You do realise that i110 gear has been available since patch 2.3, which was released last June, right? Asking for people who attempt what is literally the highest-level content in the game to at least have gear that is ten months old isn't asking much at all.

But that's not what's being asked. What's being asked is at least 7 pieces of i130 gear for T13 (if the rest are all i110). That's more than it takes to clear it by about 7 pieces.

In DF I agree. I ask though, how is this affecting you in any way? It's affecting me because regardless of whether you think individuals should be at that level, some are clearly not, many might not have even started playing until just recently, some might have taken long breaks. You know your group when you enter DF with a full party, you don't care about item levels because you know the players you're entering with, if it's a PF, you make the ilvl restriction yourself. There is literally no reason why this should be enforced on premade parties.

Yeah, I get you now - agreed. I'll still say that I had a break between late 2.2 and the release of 2.4 and still got to i118 by the time the towers weekly quest was introduced, at which point it became trivial to get another 6-8 iLevels. People returning from breaks right now shouldn't expect to be able to jump into all the fancy stuff right away, but yes - in PF, we should be the ones to decide.
