We need an ilvl/gear requirement for leveling dungeons

Very true the other day I was running The Sirensong Sea with a Gunbreaker(who had 5 jobs at 80 including the other tanks...)who was missing a belt, two rings, a bracelet, and a necklace. Was so hard on my healer friend =(

Having multiple jobs leveled does not equal being skilled/knowing what you're doing. And vice versa. This misconception needs to die.

No, but at that point you are expected to understand how gearing works.

How long do we baby people? If its not 1 job leveled, and apparently not 5 jobs leveled to max, then when? When they break the level cap before an expansion drops?

That's not what it is about. But getting to 80 on multiple jobs without knowing absolutely basic things like:
yes, there are vendors who sell level appropriate white gear.
Yes, there is the market board where you can grab some HQ stuff cheaper than vendor non HQ because people leveled their crafters.
Yes, there are tomestone vendors who sell gear which will last several levels.
Not to mention equipping something for every goddamn slot you have.

Nobody needs to be skilled to know these things. Not by a long shot. It's basic knowledge.

It at least implies that you should know better than to queue into content missing literally half of your gear. It may not be a reflection of skill, but you can’t claim “I didn’t know it mattered to wear appropriate gear” when you have multiple jobs leveled to the max.
