How is ilvl an issue while leveling?

[Vstarstruck]

Isn't it impossible for people to enter Expert Roulette below the minimal ilevel? The only time I think you would have ever see someone without/below i290 gear is in Ala Mhigo and... this is the only time I'm (somewhat) fair (I will tell them to do their Job quests the second they're done, since we all know what comes after). Some people just completely forget about their Job Quests... though HQ level 68 and level 69 dungeon gear is still kinda okay for Ala Mhigo.

That's it, though. If someone is a tank and is still wearing their Shire gear in the level 69 dungeon, then they're out of here (Levelling dungeons do not have a minimal ilevel requirement).

... with someone with your experience you think you would know the answer to that question. Seen it in the drowned city of skalla (back when that was expert) and hell's lid. It is easy to carry gimp left side when right is easy to gear up to meet ilevel requirements.....

Overall I really do not care, as long as it is not glaring obvious it is going slow. Seeing that just reinforces the reason why they need be kicked. So maybe I seen it more times then I realize, it is likely I seen it in ala mhigo, but it was done so without being outright bad.

DF needs better gating requirements, maybe this is another problem that does not happen with the Japanese player base so they do not address it.

It's why I tend to bring at least one friend when I do my roulettes. We've gotten a tank just like that who didn't understand how to do their job and was so poorly geared that they might as well have been wearing tissue paper. After trying to talk them through at least using cooldowns so my job would be easier and getting nowhere, we all just eventually sat down until we could kick him. I know the developers are loathe to gate some content, but the dungeons /need/ minimum ilvl caps like the raids. I can live with poorly geared DPS, I already DPS as SCH and can generally make up for the slack. I can't deal with tanks who require constant overheals because one bad hit takes them down to nothing or healers who simply can't keep up at all even with baby pulls, and not for lack of trying.

They prob did not expect people to be so willing to enter places being obviously under geared. Going by the comments with the greed all wide in raids, it is likely they will never address this since it never happens with the Japanese player base with the defense is being given why that greed wide change is happening.

(small edit for the post below as i feel it is not worth a post quota)
I said "they enter expert having under i290 gear (the level 70 job quest gives this)" It is quite obvious it meant right was over to carry ilevel since level 70 quests don't gear the right -.-. I did not see ALL slots as in average where under 290, I said having under 290 gear. So in my view, I def explained everything.

You never saw people gimp the left for the right to carry them to meet the requirements, never? This is done because game makes right so much cheaper, like 3 right = body. 8 man you can get 2 right per week while getting none left. It is semi common maybe you never look enough.
