How is ilvl an issue while leveling?

The game likes to give me no 61+ leveling roulettes until I'm level 69 on a tank and then gives me that one. (At which point I immediately apologize to the party for what's about to happen, lol.) Eventually I stopped queuing for leveling roulette about level 65 or so just to avoid this. Sure, I could just buy or craft level-appropriate gear, but it makes little difference for any case except getting an appropriate level dungeon in leveling roulette.

Leveling roulette is worth it one time a day. Sure, you can level using only it like I did for quite some levels doing one dungeon run a day. However, most people actually run more dungeons in one go, especially tanks and healers. At that point, once you are done with leveling roulette, alliance roulette and possibly 50-60 roulette, what you should do to level is spam the highest level dungeon you are comfortable with doing which will give you some upgrades. Don't use roulette past the first time a day if you care about experience. That's a waste of time.

My point is that I was not inclined to level at the maximum possible rate. One of each relevant roulette per day plus hunts was all I did. Yes, the fastest way to level involves spamming the highest-level dungeon (and I ended up doing that on my last few tanks and healers). But if "fast" isn't your goal, doing nothing but roulettes and other side content works quite well, and offers very little incentive to keep up your gear.
