NQ versus HQ further increases the potential difference in performance.

Instead set a minimum for primary stat by job/role. Throwing numbers out for the sake of example (have no idea how close they are to the real thing): if a full set of NQ level 64 caster DPS gear would have 1500 base INT, then require the player have to 1200 INT to queue for a level 64/65 dungeon (or 80% of what would be normal for the level). That leaves room for the player to have a few pieces of gear they're still working on replacing through MSQ or other sources.
This is good idea imo, as long as a minimum amount of defence is also added as a required stat.
