Is it wrong to run Castrum Abania as a tank at ilvl 272

[Hamada]

How so? If you are such a stickler about gearing for leveling content then surely they are sticklers about gearing for other content as well. No double standards here?

Stop twisting words. I am going to state something very blunt to make you understand better. You are acting like we are asking people Doma Castle to get 282 for Castrum Abania. that is not the case. It is us stating the game throws gear at you left and right, and if you have issues putting gear on from Doma Castle and Bardam's Mettle then there is issues. If you are going to say something like "People shouldn't have to spend time on that" (even though you would be running these for exp anyway?) with HoH now, keep in mind this thread was made after HoH since it was made a few days ago, if you cannot bother to gear, do not hit "leveling roulette" go to HoH, you have no business burdening others because you want to be lazy.

SE expects people to have some self responsibility and thought ilevel requirements was not necessary for programing, clearly you are proving them wrong.The only "biased crowd" here is you and Fynlar. I am holding my ground in telling you not to tell others to enter dungeons undergeared.

No, if the tank showed up in level 1 glamour and refused to change gear - that would be harassment. Clearly this is not what happened. So who is harassing who?

You should have enough understanding what the point of that conversation is. We only know one side of the OP's story, as is, the Op could be just as guily with the harassment. You need to read between the lines a bit, here is a key statement for the following I am about to say:

I am a veteran of this game and i know how to play and whats fair and whats not IN MY OWN OPINION, but i guess i am coming to the forums to look for a little reassurance and get other peoples views on this situation as well.

If someone has enough arrogance to state something like this, then it is very likely they where causing problems on a social level back to the healer and dps. Not only is the statement itself a bit of a problem, but thinking it was fine to under gear and trying to shift all blame to others? I do not think so. (Others already explained the issues with healing in that situation and how that can impact failing mechanics, please do not reply with something where I can simply dig up those quotes to reply to it. Also if this statement was 100% true, they would known to enter there in better gear.)

You said

"But we can certainly prove by deductive reasoning that SE is OK with entering Castrum Abania in whatever gear your wearing when you unlock it since there is no other explicit limitation or requirement set forth."

this does not fit being i272 for Castrum Abania. This can imply SE would expect something like people having a mix set of gear from Bardam's Mettle,Doma Castle, Shisui of the Violet Tides/ augmented shire, making a person hover around 275-278. But you are supporting i272 is fine because w/e goes, if that is the case, entering naked would fly with your point of view with such a statement too.
