Average item level calculation needs fixing, as does lv50 gear progression

They should not be able to enter the queue for Expert, HM Primals or CT until they have at least i70 in every slot.

For the HM Primals, did you ever stop to think about the fact that you were dealing with new people who were going through the quests for their first Relic weapon? It's a quest you get, you know, right after you beat the Main Scenario. Are you saying you want the Relic Reborn quest gated behind an arbitrary i70 "in every slot" requirement? Also, the ilvl requirement for the hardest fight in that 3 HM Primals chain (for Relic Reborn) is 57, if you haven't noticed.

I did HM Primals for my Relic weapons at a gradually-increasing ilvl pace, but I got lucky in Amdapor Keep and got an i55 pants and i55 sword on my first run. Still, I think I was only i58 when I did HM Titan.

So, to put it simply, you have no idea what you're talking about and are just complaining about newbies because you want to speed run everything and they're just "holding you back." If you can't handle helping new players get through encounters that they're geared for (just, I don't know, maybe actually NEW at), then kick yourself out of the encounter, wait your 30 minutes, and requeue.

A tank can't have the HP to survive Titan's Mountain Buster + Bombs exploding near them while they are decked out in AF armour and some pre-lv 50 rings. Even with my own tank's gear (i93) I tend to have trouble if the bombs spawn in a weird pattern so that two are on top of me. Which I've noticed is happening more often than it used to .

I'm sorry, this just makes it sound like you're the problem. I main tanked Titan HM in AF gear (minus the pants) at least once, and in just Militia gear many times. Sometimes the fights were tough, but it just took a little more coordination and timing, then the fight went smoothly.
