[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[ZioSerpe]

Here's what happened:
Dude is gathering light for the anima;
he has 2 weapons in the armory for the job, one is the relic one is a legit one;
the gears are saved with the anima because he's never on the job just in q for stuff while doing other stuff on another class (most likely leveling);
to take 2 birds with 1 stone he ques for both anima stuff and WT stuff;
Que pops, he's in a fate or in combat and needs to run out of aggro;
Timer is about to run out when he's finally out of combat and he accepts;
He's now in and can't switch weapon.

Been there, done that.
If we could change weapon inside a duty while not switching class that would never happen.

You can.
The only place where your weapon is locked is the Hydra trial.

You can at the end, during it wouldn't allow it, I remember once I did the exact opposite while doing WoD for light where I went in with legit weapon instead of relic, and I could not change during the run.

As long as nobody is fighting, you can change your weapon as you enter. Yes, your SOL once you start fighting. I'm pretty sure he had time to switch weapons at the start while healers were putting up protect and what not.
On this note though: He could've very well been working on relic and forgotten to switch weapons. I've gone in realizing the relic I'm working on is still on and switch it out quick before the runs starts.

I think your over reacting as long as you cleared a dungeon it's not an issue at all.

I cant believe people dont see the issue. ITS NOT THE POINT THAT THEY CLEARED.......

Why is it not an issue if there actually is an issue? I dont get this community (and ive been here for a very long time)

Dude is farming light for an ARR relic in the Creator NM...

Wow. The fact that anyone actually replied and tried to justify this or even suggest it's even okay is genuinely surprising.

The fact of the matter is that you're all babying him because he's a DPS. Had a tank, or rather both tanks, been wearing i110 weapons it would be physically impossible to clear. There is no tank in the world who could keep hate off a DPS who has a proper weapon for lv60 content while they used an i110 weapon. Now I know that people say, "but since they cleared that's okay," that's not okay. Just because a DPS having a low level weapon doesn't mess up the group like a tank does, doesn't mean they shouldn't be just as responsible as a tank would have to be.

Also people acting like the OP is being elitist or having a strict requirement or something. It's i110. You can literally buy an i150 weapon from Azys Lla. It's very clear this was either deliberate or a very unfortunate mistake, but either way, there should be some kind of warning alerting people if a piece of their gear is dramatically lower than the item level requirement.

I mean you can't put restrictions on absolutely everything, some people are just gonna be dumb. Sometimes theres not much you can do except maybe mention it because what if they forgot and didn't realize it? (Forgot to equip a different weapon or something)

Okay so I know the DF has rules in place for average item level in order to queue for specific content, but I find what I just saw to be very ridiculous in terms of what the DF will allow players to do.

:/

I actually have a better system. Because average ilevel is such a shitty system to gear gate content (ilevel has zero correlation to gear strength while people can cheese with RHS pieces not of the main stat or cheaping out on the weapon). I propose they have an AP/mAP requirement for all classes for all dungeons. That way, you have to truly be at the specific gear level intended for that content and it is also un-cheesable.
