Hippies. Hippies everywhere!

iLevel is here to stay and it will affect access to instances in 2.1.

Thank goodness.

Why thank goodness? I was doing Titan with GC Sword and Kite Shield, I offered to tank and was told "HAHA U KANT TANK HAWHAW" etc, as well as "under geared pally" etc. I main tanked Titan and am now using my Relic Sword and Shield+1. All the restriction will do is show the bad players who believe gear > skill that they truly and utterly suck, whilst keeping out the good players who know that skill > gear. I'd rather play with people with average gear who know their jobs and don't require an average iLevel of 34987 for an easy fight like Titan than be in a dungeon with people who think just cause they have better gear they are gaming gods. All the iLvl restriction will do is show up the bad players, wait, I can't wait for it to appear now, except I'm stuck playing with them >.>

Go go anecdotal evidence!

Glancing at your HP total, your lesser gear was countered by a more skilled/better geared healer. I'm not saying you're bad, in fact quite the opposite you're probably pretty skilled to if you picked up the fight and pulled a good cooldown rotation on your first run through. You need to recognize though that as a lesser geared tank on a fight that's basically tank and spank your gear deficiency was covered by a better than usual skilled/geared healer.

Of course iLevel restrictions aren't likely to affect Titan Hard mode at all, as they will most likely AND should be bypassed by queueing as a full party just like the role restrictions. More likely it will only really effect entry hard modes and AK where people can duty queue solo and have an expectation of completion.
