They're doing it for Mentor roulette currently but it's a static check that gets manually raised every time the roulette gets new content, this would have to be dynamic. I really think they should invest in this mechanism, it's a one time investment and they can use it for all roulettes. People go in naked to get out of Shinryu in Trials? Too damn bad. They won't run the roulette with this in place? They weren't helping the right queues along anyway.
Indeed. If people try to lower their item level just to avoid Shinryu, I hope they get Ravana, Bismarck, Susano, or Lakshmi in Trials roulette with undergeared people because there is no item level requirement for them. I've seen a lot of bad runs with these four trials lately ever since Stormblood came out.
