Can people cheat Itemlevel in Groupfinder?

[Notfincher]

This happened on several Occasions: Some Russian with insane itemlevel queues in groupfinder, but deals low damage. I check gear and it is far lower itemlevel than displayed in groupfinder.

While players have 1-2 ilvl mismatch of equipped versus highest ilvl gear, those Russians had like 15 ilvl lower than displayed.


Is that a thing or do my eyes deceive?

they could have a bunch of boe items in their bags boosting their ilvl, they don't need to be equipped to boost displayed ilvl
