Should the Heavensward Leveling dungeons and trials have item level requirements?

[Ama_Hamada]

What's funny is I mentioned this shortly after HW's release and got met with, "OMG NO!"


This is the big reason why it needs to be done. People don't want to use common sense. Why people think that after going through all the level 50 dungeons (dungeons that require certain item levels) only to go into 51-59 dungeons wearing mostly i90 attire is beyond me.

People most likely was not expecting people to do what we are currently seeing. Maybe back then it was less of an issue too? I am not sure, but I do know for a fact it is getting worse and worse to the point something needs changing.

For the people saying "it is not raid content it is not needed" it is possible to be under geared so much you can't pass them, keep this in mind:

Would be nice was running the Vault today and the healer was so under geared that if the first boss used his LB move on them it would one shot them and it took 3 runs getting lucky that they didn't get targeted to beat it

It was an issue back then too. One of the reasons why I would see wipes on Bismarck NM was because people were still using their i90-i100 relic weapons. The maxed out versions I could understand, but 90-100 in a lv 57 trial?

oh wow, even with that people still told you no?

but ya 135 is def passable there, not 90-100, and isn't one of those versions not a true 100 weapon or something? also speaking of gimp level 50 relics:

THIS WILL REPEAT for STORMBLOOD! more requirements ARE NEEDED. ALL DF need entry requirements including outlining what your weapon should be since that holds soo much weight in your performance then what a simple gear average accounts for.

Just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean it is rare. Like if you had never seen a cricket...does that mean they don't exist or must be very rare? I don't know about you but I hear them all over the place in the summer at night even if I don't see them with my eyes.

People have shared problems with people queuing with improper gear so it exists. The main issue isn't about how often it happens just the fact that it would be simple to stop it from being possible at all and avoid annoyance and wasted time.

You can vote kick people, sure, but in the end they still wasted their time and everyone elses because now you have to sit there waiting for member in progress which sometimes a long time passes and you don't get a replacement and then sometimes whole group just ends up leaving and having to requeue...so...move on with your day? Maybe or maybe you end up wasting 20-40 minutes.

Why put up with that wasted time when it could all be solved by just adjusting the DF system a bit. A lot of DF content already has item level requirements on it so obviously it wouldn't be difficult to do the same for the content that is currently missing item level reqs.

If you saw that person talking to me it should be clear they do not respect others. Also you need to consider some people force you to deal with it, while other times, 5 minutes is too long of a wait to kick someone. Remove that timer or let us kick in battle. I know kicking in battle is a very bad idea as it can lead to MPK, something I seen already in deep before but something needs to be done.

But yes it should be prevented.
