So eliminate private/same server item reqs.

Now, that being said, I think they should also raise the DF lvl reqs, right now its like 65 for Titan EX? Even Pharos Sirus min req is too low. Raise those up, and it will raise up the quality of DF groups.
I don't think gear makes the Player, most of these fights are skill based or FPS / connection checks. Raising the gear level is what party finder is for, Duty finder is the bare minimums that can beat it. Just because you cannot do Titan Hard mode in AK gear doesn't mean others cannot.

As far as removing level requirements on gear for premades I think that should be allowed as you can go in with whatever set up you want anyways.
