Add iLvl to "Examine"

Because Party Finder doesn't already do this, right?

Which happens already. PF's that allow arbitrary ilvl requirements, FC's that won't let someone in on Coil unless they meet certain requirements in excess of dungeon requirements. Even without a specific iLvl listed, even a quick examine can allow someone to gauge pecking order. Guess what happens when someone spots an i70 belt? Noob-boot! Go farm Myth.

Lets forget that there are actually iLvl requirements for going into a dungeon, but being held out of Turn 1 until you're 10 levels over the entry requirements is shifty no matter how you look at it. That is assuming, of course, that the 'team' didn't set the entry requirements to a threshold where a party of minimum iLvl can't complete the dungeon. Now that would be shifty.

Exactly how it should be done. Thank you.

In community rep world, ilvl requirements for dungeons and party finder doesn't exist apparently.

Also put down the torches people, adding ilvl to examine won't suddenly make people get discriminated against. It would be a great feature to have, and if you can't understand why then you're the type who won't get into groups based on gear regardless of if people can see your ilvl or not.

Only reason this concerns me is that you've added an ilvl requirement into the party finder already.

They already do this via the Party Finder, no need to help them do it even more. Good Call Square Enix!

No problem. I know how to use a calculator. I guess most of the game's population doesn't.

so happy that u guys decided not to add it. that is one of the things that made the tera community so toxic at times.

Very glad to hear the devs were aware of this possibility!

The World of Warcraft community became very toxic and judgmental over item levels after the Gearscore addon was released. I am hoping that average item levels not only remain hidden, but that when addons are supported there will not be anything allowed that automatically calculates and displays other players' item levels, either. If you really want to know what your party members are wearing, feel free to examine them. But elitism should not be easily encouraged.

This statement makes no sense whatsoever when the game has a party finder with item level. The "discrimination" occurs on the party finder, not on the examination. No one ever makes a party by examining another player.
