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.
