Agree 100%

A good example if this is when I made my alt BLM.

I was ilvl72 and trying to get a Garuda Ex party at this ilvl it was very difficult, all PF party's were i78+ and only 1 person in 5 or so who I asked, let me join. I told them if they parse, please check my dps and if my dps is in the bottom 2 for the first kill, they should kick me. We farmed it and I got my Caster Ring.

For Titan Ex.... I was i73 now and i asked like 7/8 different PF leaders, but none would take me at i73. All wanted atleast i80+ most asking for i85 lol.

I saw someone looking for a DPS for Titan Ex Sell Runs, I joined this party (ilvl was not asked) and proceeded to Farm my Caster Earring and Bracelet from Titan and Ifrit, while in a sell group and being paid 100k per kill.

Total madness lol and all due to the silly ilvl system.
