It becomes an issue because you get players in Sirensong Sea (level 61 dungeon) with i200 HW artifact gear on (the gear given to you in the SB MSQ is HQ i255 gear, so you're already 55 item levels below that). The game lets them do it, despite how much of a hinderance it is.

Leveling dungeons honestly need item level requirements. And I think something should also be done about NQ White gear, because as you level they get worse and worse.
I just had the pleasure of being grouped with a paladin wearing ~150 gear in Shisui of the Violet Tides. He had the least hp out of the group, both me and the other dps would overaggro constantly even while spamming my enmity cooldowns.

I left after the second boss which we barely killed with several deaths because we were taking tankbusters.
