[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[Reynhart]

No....I've basically shown that it is a problem with that in progress run with the BLM in my original post and also the testing I did.

Maybe you should have read the next sentence...

Building on that, the discussion is how the system could be tweaked to ensure that "Required ilvl" is a proper measurement.

Seems to me you're the one missing the problem here - unless we want to assume that having a weapon this far below the requirements for the duty is "working as intended", the system is obviously flawed, because this shouldnt happen

If the same player came with i110 head, hands, and feet, no one would even have noticed...

This system doesnt has to be fixed - just because the game allows for it right now doesnt mean it shouldnt be discussed how to change it to prevent such "abuse" (you cant be fine with this sort of gear in this sort of content).

Hmm, yeah...that's what we do here...

People are only defending this coz its a dps, if it was any other role it wouldn't be tolerated for a second.

Let me borrow your sentence, please. People are only bitching about this coz it's a weapon, if it was any other piece, it wouldn't matter at all.
