Not necessarily. I once had a Scholar pre-PotD who was wearing both the Friendship Circuit and Brand New Ring in Ravana normal. Every other piece was below Ironworks while his weapon was 43-47 or thereabouts. He not only had the audacity to complain about DPS (OT disconnected, so were pulled without one), but when I noticed and called out his gear, he said "I have a level 60 PLD and know it's fine!"

Some people just feel entitled to clears even if they try to make you do all the work.
