Yeah, the item level thing should only apply to having to grab people off the duty finder, just like enforcing the 1/1/2 or 2/2/4 party setups. Premades should not be subject to any of that stuff. If PF groups want to have an item level requirement for entry they can set one themselves.

So that one high level character could carry up to 3 bots and gave them access to Ishgard ?
Please, no.
Oh, please. You act like that's a hard thing to do for someone who already knows how to play the game

(presumably, if someone is dedicated enough to the game to run 4 accounts at the same time, they probably know how to play the game on at least some fundamental level)
