Players Who Don't pull their weight.

it just takes me longer than "leetists"

There's that word again! We really should try having civil discussion instead of calling anybody you disagree with an elitist. It deters from thoughtful conversation.

On point though, you are mistaking iLvl for skill. Raising the iLvl requirements on certain content wouldn't stop "my own pace" players from getting in because getting gear in this game is a grind at best and not actually oriented towards skill, it would however stop "my own pace" players from not only going in minimally geared, but coupled with that they don't have a strong grasp of their class or the game would they would be dead weight. By having a higher iLvl requirement, less than stellar players can contribute beyond making "leetist" claims.
