Alliance Raid Now iLvl Locked, Why??

You don't have an issue because your character has an items appropriate for the level they're currently at. This is not a character specific issue, it's happening to everyone who is level 60 without level 60 gear, level 70 without level 70 gear, etc.

As soon as try to run an alliance raid roulette on a job that's level 90 you'll have the same problem.

"Just buy better gear" doesn't fix the fact that this was a badly implemented fix that leads to completely ridiculous behaviour, and also isn't a solution for characters on free trial.

What is the required Ilvl for level 90? And is it attainable through buying stuff from the market? Ie white items like Deepgold or whathaveyou.

You can get it with crafted gear, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that the entire design philosophy around gear has always been that you need gear for the content you're running, not the level you're at. There's never been a requirement or advantage from buying better gear than your current MSQ progress, why introduce one now? especially since you don't even actually need or get any benefit from that gear because you'll just be synced down to the duties you can actually get out of the roulette!

And, again, what is someone on free trial supposed to do if they hit 70 while they're still in Heavensward?

Im not sure why anyone wouldnt want to upgrade their gear as often as they can. Why fight with a level 60 weapon when you can have a level 90 weapon?

People on the free trial have it hard, I can see that. They cant even access the market board.

Seems to me though, the issue is more with the path to 80 buff giving way too much XP.
