In dungeons this may not matter but 24 man raids require 24 people. You have people waiting for Dun Scaith or Void ark for 40+ minutes because of this oversight.

This loophole should be closed sometime during Shadowbringers. If people queu up with ilevel 80 then they should struggle through the duty with that ilevel.
This solution still allows those that want to force low level rouletes (but keeps them at that low ilevel) and gives the other Alliance Raid duties a chance to actually appear for those that need it.
This happens because theres people queuing for the first three for mog tomes. not as many people are unequiping as you think.
