I think classic dungeons are very easy. On my druid, I started healing RFC at 11, WC at 16, SFK at 21, RFD at lv 24, RFK at 26, and SMGY at 28.
ALL THE SUDDEN, everyone is requiring that players be the level of the last boss OR HIGHER.
What’s going on here? Why do these people suddenly think that you have to be level 32 for SM GY? That’s insanely overleveled for that.
You did RFD at level 24. 10-16 levels under most mobs in the instance. I feel bad for your group.
No you don’t need a group that’s higher level than the last boss, but you also don’t want to be going in when most mobs are skulls and will pull from several screens away…
I find this hard to believe unless you were carried by people much higher level than the instance itself.
Start your own group then. People can ask for whatever they want for their own group and you can make the requirements for the group you make. Pretty simple fix.
Think he meant rfk
Still, it really is this easy unfortunately…
Actually, I think OP meant BFD.
Healers can be the lowest level party member and have very little impact on the group. You don’t need to be a higher level than all of the bosses, but being 5 levels lower than all bosses as a tank is a PITA. Same goes for DPS. Spells start to get resisted a lot more, attacks miss and glance more often. Healers don’t really see much besides a smaller mana pool.
Yes. I meant BFD.
The point is, why are people suddenly asking for over leveled groups?
Being within 2 levels of the last boss is more than enough.
Because they want to insure the group can make it through it. That’s the only reason.
Same thing happens in retail with ilvl gatekeepers.
Literally havent seen this one time on Mankrik. I have not seen a level requirement in LFG chat, trade chate, world chat, etc…
I feel like I was low level at 26 when doing SMGY and my party was 30-32, but nobody said a word, we had no problems though.
These dungeons are cakewalks right now, there’s hardly any challenge unless you’re 4+ levels below the mobs.
You must not read LFG that often then…
Graveyard is a joke. But if you can’t hit the boss in SM Cath, your level really does matter. Now you can still be a little under and hit just will be a little longer. But if you expect to get there at 34 think again.
Only when Im actively looking/making a group. Yeah its full of spam/trolls but it has worked for me 100% time when wanting to join a group.
I have 3 chat tabs, normal general tab, normal general tab with LFG, guild/party/whisper chat.
When I dont want to see the LFG chat I click over to the one without it.
Are they really struggling so much? That seems crazy.
I suppose you confused RFD with BFD…
but for efficiency sake, there’s no point in doing dungeon under-level.
I ask players to at least be orange to the last boss, so 4-5 levels below the final boss max.
That being said, it starts getting more difficult around RFD and Uldaman. You need a party of dps lv 44-45 at least to stand a chance against the last boss.
Healers can be a little underleveled and do fine 
Many people don’t know that though 
thats just the part of the toxic player base.
It’s not about struggling, it’s about hedging their bets that they don’t get a group that can’t complete the instance.
