Steps of Faith needs an ilevel raise...

[Duuude007]

I think the issue is accessability. new players who have to go through steps of faith to get to heavensward content have to achieve the required ilvl to get it done. You dont want to place so high an ilvl on it that it becomes difficult for new players to get a story mode fight done and be walled in from heavensward. If anything they need to bring down the stats of the mobs in the dungeon or lower/make easier something in the dungeon if your trying to make it easier not jack up the ilvl.

This is exactly opposite of what OP is saying, and guess what? Most of us will disagree with both suggestions.

The difficulty is on par with ilvl, as it should be. The real problem is some people being unable to understand that tank & spank doesn't work here, REGARDLESS of the ilevel.
