Can we have iLv Requirements for story content?

Lots of hyperbole and exaggeration. I'm currently working on my 4th and 5th classes to 60 and have never once seen a person with an average i90 ilvl in the library. Maybe a piece of i90 gear but that isn't enough to make or break anything. Just about every single one of these dungeons can be completed in ilvl 130 gear fairly easily.

There's also the fact that ilvl isn't an accurate of stat allocation. There are some 130 pieces that have greater stat weights than higher ilvl pieces. In fact most of the poetics gear doesn't even become outdated until 55 -57 dungeon range but even then it's negligible.

This would be because the level 51 dungeon drops ilvl 120, and the level 53 dungeon drops ilvl 130. So yes, ilvl 130 poetic gear doesn't become outdated until after these two: the level 55 dungeon drops ilvl 136. The ilvl on leveling gear in Heavensward is accurate enough in regards to stat allocation.

A few times I've seen or heard of situations with people being ridiculously undergeared for what they're running. Last I got to see myself was a healer in Cutter's Cry wearing a cracked shepherd's belt, which is simply a mat used by crafters to turn into... a vintage gatherer's belt. So no stats at all. He was also wearing a vit necklace. Funny enough the tank was getting hasty and asked if he could do big pulls, and that healer said that he could heal anything with no problem. Turns out he couldn't.

Like that there are many other stories that happen with ridiculously undergeared players, or people who have no idea what they're wearing. They may not be that common, but they still happen. And with such a lack of knowledge or care about their gear I don't expect them to be good enough players to make up for that disadvantage. I don't expect such a stiff limit in gear, maybe to use gear that is at least competent for the previous 1 or 2 dungeons. Accessories could still have some freedom, but left side should have an expected minimum.

I have seen many players in Stone Vigil wearing the craps from chests. Also I had a healer once in SV who had the battlemage chest piece, level 20 hat and the rest were items with control. Funny run as I was synced paladin with stoneskin, but I dread to imagine how would they heal a tank wearing leveling gear in garuda normal... not to mention similarly geared tank in awesome no stat gear.
