I've made a post pertaining to a potential PVE rank system a few weeks back, however I wanted to see the communities thoughts before projecting my system again; feel free to go through my posts and see.

That being said, I've out parsed many dps who were at least 10 iLvs above my own; iLv has very little to do with skill or the rate of success a of group will have. A good player using i75 gear vs i90 will show a large bit if difference in dps, however a great iLv 75 vs a poor iLv90 player will show just as much of a difference, however favoring the i75.

Yesterday I was kicked from a turn 1 party as an ilv72 PLD alt-character because if my iLv, with later that night clearing turn 5 with the exact same gear. I wonder if my now Allagan blade ilv74 PLD will still struggle even getting into Garuda Ex parties? The likelihood is no, at least without coercing the leader otherwise first.
