Item level requirements for all the dungeons

[Archaell]

Could we please get item level requirements for all the dungeons?

Through the game it has been major turn-off for me seeing all the undergeared players wich are making content harder than it is due to lack of gear.

As I farm dungeons a lot I am honestly getting tired of seeing undergeared players doing content above their item level. It is no longer funny getting i90 players in the second half of Heavensward. I thought that it would eventually stop, but no... just today I had several i90 players in the Vault...

I don't know why these players can't support their crafters, but SE please put a reasonable iLevel requirements for all the instances. It would make our lives much easier.

Getting that far people should have got at least one proper level set of hq gear through the questline, weapon too. If they are alt classes however... I just wonder if forcing iLvl would lead people equipping whatever accessories they have at hand to get by the bar. Things like, iLvl 200 healer accessory set to raise the iLvl of level 55 monk just because the main is healer.

Gubal Library should probably have a down sync too lol.

You can have an i210 lv60 dps in there, with an i140 lv59 tank. Good luck holding those enemies

Think that would be a great idea.
No ilvl requirement just means people will start into HW with their ilvl90 Job Quest Equipment and will probably never change it due to missing Quest rewards on second+ jobs.

The Dusk Vigil - ilvl 105
Sohm Al - ilvl 115
The Aery - ilvl 125
The Vault - ilvl 125
The Great Gubal Library - ilvl 135

Players farm fates and then they decide to do a dungeon... few of them might use wrong accessories to get the boost, but hopefully not that many. We can't do much about players' sklil, but gear... it isn't that hard to buy few items from your crafting friends or from the local market boards. I know it costs money but this isn't a single player game, players should show some compassion to their team mates.

Gubal Library should probably have a down sync too lol.

I am half level away from that hell. Honestly not looking forward to tank it. Maybe it would be better to skip it... Oh, so that's why it is bloody hard to get a tank for this thing in DF.

I like that idea. Remember that run in Brayflox's Longstop as a healer with a lvl 32 Tank in lvl 15-20 items on the left and lvl 8 accessories (and one 28 ring). It was hell with many wipes.

Look on the bright side: If rumors are to be believed, there's a good chance these iLvL 200 DPS wouldn't churn out more than 300-400 DPS anyway.

I look at the dark side. Being told that you suck by somebody who is able to steal your enmity only thanks to their gear is not something I would enjoy.

Even now with iLevel sync sometimes I get a player in my group who can play their class well enough to challenge my enmity management. It doesn't happen often but sometimes it does.

At least you can't blame him for not gearing up beforehand. *snicker*

Sorry, could not resist. Seriously, though, these kinds of things never happen to me. Sure, I once had a 60 DPS with almost as many HP as I had when going through the library as DRK (And I was still using mostly fending accessories), but I simply pointed the difference out and asked him kindly to be a bit gentle, because I'm physically unable to hold the aggro if he goes ham. No harm done, we had a few jokes and a smooth run.

As the MSQ hands out HQ ilevel 115 gear for all slots before you hit the first dungeon in HW, you are not seeing 'new players', you are seeing their alts. I can understand why they aren't in i115 gear at that time: there is a single vendor for left-side gear, and they do not have a Buy Gearz Here sign.

To purchase HW gear on the MB can be a half-to-1 million gil expense, as I know from experience.

A better solution than ilevel requirements for all dungeons (really? what should we REQUIRE of a level 15 player in Sastasha?) might be to start dropping ilevel appropriate gear as part of the HW FATEs, which might spur the mob in Northern Thanalan to move on.
