    Um, well...I'm not even sure I'm comprehending what the OP is on about. But No you cannot ignore ilevel at all, ever...when queueing for a dungeon or roulette...ever. I mean, for sure you can ditch yer gear once yer in but sometimes it's done out of necessity, say when the high level healer pulls off the low level tank for like...breathing...other than that it's trolling.

    This only applies for level 50, level 60, and level 70 dungeons. All ARR, HW, and SB leveling dungeons (e.g., level 15~47, level 51~59, and level 61~69) don't have item level requirements, so you literally can queue into Castrum Abania (level 69 dungeon) as a level 69/70 player with just your weapon equipped (you don't even need a job stone on).

    It becomes an issue because you get players in Sirensong Sea (level 61 dungeon) with i200 HW artifact gear on (the gear given to you in the SB MSQ is HQ i255 gear, so you're already 55 item levels below that). The game lets them do it, despite how much of a hinderance it is.

    Leveling dungeons honestly need item level requirements. And I think something should also be done about NQ White gear, because as you level they get worse and worse.

    I just had the pleasure of being grouped with a paladin wearing ~150 gear in Shisui of the Violet Tides. He had the least hp out of the group, both me and the other dps would overaggro constantly even while spamming my enmity cooldowns.

    I left after the second boss which we barely killed with several deaths because we were taking tankbusters.
