Throw awat the iLv system, implement a PvE Rank system.

They should make it invisible.

Lets be perfectly honest in this situation you went in with a farm group and likely were playing the role of dk stun bot. I actual progression group would never survive with a pld in the 70s no matter his skill level.

I agree with your point and do think for turn 1 they were being idiots. But T5 no random group would take someone in the low 70s for any role let alone the tank.

I OT 1-4 with that group as well, but there is a bit if truth to your statement.

However, I cleared T5 on my Bard Alt at i79 pushing 235+ dps with ballad up until I went oomp, out parsing the brd in that run as well as 7/8 of the bards in pugs prior to that, all whom were i85-90. I still can't get into i84+ parties(1/3 of them) until a week from now when I get enough myth

locks out a large group of players

Are you kidding?

The ilvl requirements are all laughably low. I could wear my valentines costume and still queue for most of them.

If you're talking about the party finder, just equip some i90 rings from another class until you're past whatever arbitrary minimum they set, and swap back once you've joined. I do it all the time. As long as you play as well as you say you do, they will be none the wiser.

Saying things does not make those things truths. If you're attempting to deny that you have a better chance of completing content in an efficient manner with a random sampling of ilvl75 players than you do with a random sampling of ilvl57 players you are a fool.

Well then, you're just admitting that you do it and that you're exactly the sort of player I've been talking about. There are a lot of you here who do the same thing, and it's why we have such horrendously-inflated item level requirements and absolutely terrible, yet spectacularly overgeared, players.

The ilvl requirements are all laughably low. I could wear my valentines costume and still queue for most of them.

Now, the item level averaging is a bit wonky right now, as Alistaire linked above. That said, people have cleared Titan HM in bikinis. The reality is that the content just isn't that punishing.

PvE ranking would just lead to people selling runs for ranking...
Maybe that's what you're really after... can't tell...
