Unrealistic ilvl requeriment

[Alphoter5]

They should remove the item level requirement from premade groups and increase it for Duty Finder groups.

I think this could help. At least slightly raising the ilvl requeriments!

Would that change anything? You would still face people who doesn't communicate/doesn't know the job they are playing because they geared it using another job to farm myths/idiots who leave after 1 fail & so on.

Anyway this is another debate, Skill =/= gear, its what SE had in mind. If people were actualy taking the time to try to make it work whatever iLv is high or not, this problem wouldn't exist in the 1szt place.

Ilvl 70 on a fight that drops ilvl 70 is overgearing it, whether you "feel overgeared" or not.

Only I wouldn't have been item level 70; as I had an Ifrit weapon and an AK ring. I would have been more around the 66-67 mark. I don't know what any of this has to do with the topic though.

Removing the item level requirement for premades would be nice, as I see no reason for there to be one. As for increasing the level on most Duty Finder groups, absolutely. I dare say some of these trials are impossible at the current entry level. Raising the bar wouldn't make bad players good, but at least you'd be put in with other people who are at least geared for the content.

I believe that skill is more important than gear, but skill will only get you so far. A full group of item level 65 would not meet any of the DPS checks in Garuda Extreme.

66-67 is still higher than you need for Garuda hard, by a long shot. Just because you didn't feel you were overgeared doesn't mean you weren't.

The relation to the topic at hand is that a lot of people seem to vastly over-estimate what item level is actually *required* to complete content. You don't believe GX can be done at 65, stating that you had a higher ilvl than that when you did GH. I'm asserting that you were overgeared for GH, and that GX most likely *is* doable at ilvil 65.

So you want to be able to go into Pharos Sirius with ilevel average of 47 or lower?
Or Ifrit Extreme with i69 or lower?

One way to get i48 average is for example:
Ifrit 2H weapon
CT Head, Body, Belt
Myth Gloves, Pants and Shoes
and no accessories at all...
Or some other mix that gives 48...
Would such a person be able to do all of the i48 content? Likely.

Going for i48 with AF and mediocre unmelded accessories? Would probably be hard to complete.

God forbid se makes some content that is hard. It can be done at that ilvl

Complete Garuda Extreme with a party of all item level 65 and I'll bow down and kiss your feet. I had a higher item level than that my first time around on Garuda Hard Mode.

Then you were over-geared.

I wanted to give myself and my team the best chance possible. This was back before people had their Relics on our server, so we were all below item level 70 for Garuda, and we certainly didn't feel overgeared.
