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

I know people will not like it, but if we're looking at the other topics, especially the duty finder thread and pay close attention to our own experiences, we will find that in most cases it isn't the gear. Now I am aware that some people run under geared or "cheat" gear into dungeons, and I am not saying that's ok or should be tolerated, however maybe we should implement a actual skill requirement. I've seen people in full BiS and yet they can't play their job. You can't argue well that are the people that level'd via potd, because sadly to say, it isn't. Some of these people I know were playing the game and job before potd was even a thing. If we would add both ilvl and skill requirement to all of the 4.0 content that's accessible via DF/RF, we maybe would be better off, if not than my opinion is that neither of the content need any requirements and is going to continue to be a waste of every bodies time/money.

You're correct about skill being more important than gear. I will not deny that. But others brought up the fact that there are unavoidable attacks that hit real hard even at the highest synced item level, especially the ones from pretty much every boss of the Vault (Ser Adelphel's limit break sword attack on a non-tank, and Ser Charibert's chains and room-wide aoe come to mind.)
