So there is NO reason for someone showing up in a dungeon with non-appropriate gear except being lazy/not caring.
So if they continue this - and I would expect that - there wont be a problem with not being able to progress.

Unfortunately I can imagine some people picking gear that has nothing to do with the class they are playing, or want to play, and that causing issues later - so while sort of true not entirely lol. Not suggesting they not make ilvl requirements just that they shouldn't be so tight that if you messed up a little you have to go and gear out entirely before the next baby step.

Asking for reasonable compromise, I'm sure many people here would love to set the min ilvl to something that makes every dungeon a lighting breeze especially as we've already gone past the dungeon the first time now ... I'm just saying don't lean too much towards the vets, or to the new players. Allowing people to come in with whatever they want is of course not reasonable lol.

It probably would just be golden to be able to have the system recommend how to quickly meet the ilvl requirements, like obviously the MSQ (but thats easy for a new player to mess up if they don't have gearing sense, not everyone does) - so point out certain leve quests or NPC shops could be great.
