ilvl Requirement "The Broken System"

[Leknaat]

I was in one CT where a tank was literally ONLY wearing Allagan body/legs the rest was crafter gear - head, gloves, feet, all accessories.
The shield was a vintage 44? I didn't even want to see what sword he was wearing.

We asked him to swap to some real gear. He ignored us, died in like 2 hits repeatedly.
We kicked him, he rejoined, kicked him again, he probably would have rejoined again if another tank hadn't filled his spot.

They wouldn't necessarily have to be completely excluded. Just make it a weighted average that gives much less weight to the jewelry slots and more to the weapon and main armor pieces.

This 100%. All body pieces should have a higher weight than jewelery. Weapon should be weighted the highest due to WD being worth so much more than other stats.

I don't like the ilevel system. It just seems like a way to fake raise character level without actually raising the level cap.

Agreed. FFXI was great no ilvl you knew what was better for your character or at least I would have hoped you did. If they want to implement anything a weekly skill test to test compliance level.

They did implement ilvl in gear eventually. Just not an average that could be used as a benchmark for participating in content.

As an afterthought to the previous thread, a weighting system wouldn't be that hard to figure out. Just add up all the 375's, 495's and 825's going by myth/soldiery gear and make each piece a portion according to that.

Exactly not all gear was created equally, so why should the points be. The other things that bothers be is the new relic just turning in the atma should not make it ilvl 100. It should stay at 90 and then go to 95 when you get your first book done then jump up to 100 after you get all your books done.

Yea I guess some things should be weighed higher. I don't know, it doesn't really bother me though. It's kinda nit picking saying that some crazy situations might happen. IF someone rolled up in expert dungeon in lvl10 weapon he'd just get vote kicked.

[Lunavi]

Yeah, let us change the entire system because some people can not behave at all... I like the iLvl system, if people want to go out of their way to troll there is nothing SE can do to stop them.
