The requirements don't have to be high, or even the recommended level for the dungeon or trial. But they ought to exist. There's a stricter iLvl requirement on retainer ventures than there is on multiplayer content!

- iLvl 60 for 50 content
- iLvl 90+ for 51, with small increases every 2 levels
- iLvl 135 for 60 content
- iLvl 180+ for 61 content
- iLvl 250 for 70 content

Considering certain level 50 contents drop iLvl 120 items, certain level 60 contents drop ilvl 225 items, and the 65- 69 dungeons drop iLvl 276-288 gear, these requirements are all perfectly reasonable.
You know that content at the level caps (50/60/70) have a min ilvl requirement based on the point of progression through the patch cycle, just the leveling duties (1-49/51-59/61-69) don't have any requirement other then a min level.
So many players (specially players with their third job or more) don't bother to upgrade their gear while leveling in content like PotD or HoH and hope to get something for their roulettes that fits their gear.
