Add iLvl to "Examine"

[OnyxStrife]

I don't know if this has been suggested before already, but I haven't seen it yet so here I am.

I don't understand why you can't see somebody's ilvl in the examine window. If you can see it on the lodestone, and you can find it out by doing some math, why isn't it there? I feel like it would be an easy quality of life fix, in my opinion at least.

Though if there is a legit reason not to put it in game (but put it on the lodestone) then feel free to shut me up.

And this would be useful....because?

Is it just me that sometimes likes to see what somebody's ilvl is? Maybe if I'm comparing myself to another DPS, maybe if I want to see how far ahead of me some of my FC friends are, maybe I want to know exactly why the level 50 paladin in my Stone Vigil group is dying faster than I am (his ilvl was about 28 after I did some math, btw) so I could tell him the reason, maybe I'm a leader of a FC that has a minimum ilvl requirement, maybe I want to know why the party kicked me in favor of the other Dragoon, the list can go on and on.

I can only assume it's so people can check party members during dungeons and trials, to see if they're "suitable".

Not necessarily. That's why we have a party finder. However if I do happen to be in a dungeon with somebody that I joined via the duty roulette and someone is doing really poorly, I'd like to know if his gear is the reason so I can recommend he advance it.

ilevel doesn't mean much honestly. Accessories are minor stat boosts and they radically affect the number.

You only need to look at 3 pieces to measure someone's gear. Weapon, chest and legs. That makes up about 70% of their total strength.

-snip-.

It's PURELY to see if someone is "suitable" as stated - I can join on my i90 SCH and switch to my i72 DRG if I so chose to, for example. Ivl in PF only blocks you from joining directly as less than, but you're more than capable of switching.

"recommand he advance it".

you are one of those people who discriminates new players when they join instances that have lower levels right?


i can imagine rage quitters who check the equipment of the other players before beginning with the fight or instance..

Yeah, I also read "recommand he advance it" as "So I can either kick this person or rage quit".

Uh, to see someone's ilvl maybe? O.o

So more elitists can brush their ego on others I guess... *sarcasm*

Why people here is always so negative? if you dont contribute to the topic you should just shut up.

On topic I would like this to be implemented too, sometimes if you "examine" someone its just to know how geared they are, and that would help instead of looking at all their equips.
