    Can we have iLv Requirements for story content?

    It may be too late for Heavensward instances (unless they patch it in later), but in future expansions can we please have item level requirements for dungeons and trials? Many players aren't gearing their characters before entering a duty, for whatever reason that may be. In some cases this is detrimental to the success of the group, particularly where DPS checks are tight.

    minimum ilevel on leveling dungeons would result in highest minimum ilevel for low level roulette (like in expert roulette and high level roulette), or people will manipulate the roulette with low ilevel gear (don't want Aurun Vale? Keep your ilevel lower than 48).

    All the instances should have iLvl req. imo

    There are too many players who don't care unless there is a gate in front of them so give them the gate. Also because there are too many exploiters, who would start wearing incorrect gear, the ilvl req. should be combined with stat requirements.

    The dps checks in Heavensward leveling dungeons and trials are not tight. The players are just bad and gear won't fix that.

    I don't think it's gear thats a problem, just players skill

    I levelled my Monk from 50-60 using my FCoB BiS and didn't pay attention to gear unless it dropped, I never failed a dps check but then I don't even remember there being a dps check....

    How about having a minimal iLvl for each instance, and if the player is below the minimum iLvl, instead of locking them out, their gear will be synced upward?

    Obviously this won't apply to end game content, but it would be great for leveling content, and could help deal with the inventory clutter when trying to level several jobs at once.

    Then what's even the point of leveling gear at all? Literally hundreds of items would go in the trash.

    The only Heavensward story content with DPS check, where the gear should be up to date, is Bismarck.

    I agree with this. This is for story content and i agree 1 too many times i have ran into undergeared players who do slow down runs. undergeared tanks who are a pain to cure, under geared dps who make tanking a pain cuz stuff dies to slowly, and undergeared healer who can't keep up with cures.

    Too many times i have seen people in the great library with level 51 weapons and ironworks gear.
    Most excuses i hear is "this ant savage who cares"

    Keeping your gear up to date is literally rpg 101. I also propose each dungeon has a 1 time gear check quest for each class/job in order to do the dungeon you get gil/exp for completing said quest.

    There is no excuse for doing dungeons story mode or not while being undergeared. It just lazy.

    I agree. Leveling items are trash and belong there.
