    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.

    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.

    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.

    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".
