People ask for absurd things hoping for quick easy runs. I recall seeing a group asking for KSM and 930 item level for a +4 while ToS was current content. Shit happens just move on.

Good news you do have access to it. You just don't have access to every group doing it. Just like some groups only want people wearing leather so they can max chances at somebody getting loot they want. I don't mind running with lower geared people myself, but there is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to shave 10 to 25 minutes off of a timer by just smashing your way through it.
