Don't be so mean to people dude.
If you don't want them in your game just boot them, it's not that hard.
Stop trying to make this game against noobs, let them level up and let them have their fun.
Boot button's there, problem solves.
Fiuevy - Level 60 Enchantress.
Sanatorium - Level 5 Twink Enchantress.
Fluevy, this new option will simply allow players to create the game they want with less booting. What could anyone, besides the leeches, possibly have against that?
Back to the post theme; Level restrictions or not
Most of you neglect the opposite idea;
How often have you joined a game in a zone that is your own level - and being booted by some high level (insert own negative word here)?
I suggest a new kind of level restriction; high level hosts CAN NOT boot a - or restrict entrance for - players that meet the zone's level. I'm so tired of L50 players making low level games and booting us that were meant to level up in this zone.
Why do the L50 make low level games? To get easy loot and sell - thereby corrupting the game economy and making rare pinks less rare.
With this argument in fact I think high levels should be prevented from getting loot from zones 5 levels below their own level. That would leave the high level gamers who actually are in the game to help the struggling players.
Baktus, stop flooding every thread with this idea. No one will agree with you. You may like the idea for 5 minutes, but wait until you're level 50 with nothing to do.
Was about to post this same suggestion; however, I think the host should be able to enter the minimum (or maximum) level of players allowed to join the group.

You have plenty to do. Like any other game, once you've “won” you can always play again (i.e. start a new character).
And for the record, even though I have two level 50 characters, I completely agree about preventing high level characters from screwing around in low level dungeons.
OMG, just start your own game already, Baktus. And invite your own friends.
As for level restrictions, an option seems sort of ok.
I would hate to see a required level restriction, because even if you are NOT boosting a toon, playing in the next higher dungeon above your level isn't always leeching. I can guarantee all of my toons can survive as is and solo the next higher dungeon outside their level range. This is generally what I do. I move on based on quests, not levels, and generally have no trouble with at least the next campaign. So my level 8 is ok in Dark Forest, my level 12 in Balefort, etc. It depends a bit on the campaign but having a hard level restriction would mean my toons play in areas much too easy for them. And I suspect there are other players like this as well.
Hmm...where was I where a bunch of level teens killed snowmen fine but the level 31 bird kept dying...?
Star light, star bright...
I can see what you're saying but I doubt people will use the option on lower dungeons. I think it'll primarily be used on AO3 maps.

Checkbox isn't really enough.
There might as well be an option to set a max level.
(To go a step further, having a set of create game loadouts would be even better!)
For instance in the Winter Festival, it can be rough if you have less than 5 in a L10 Factory then turn a corner only to be faced with L50 Snowmen, etc.
Run away! Run away!
I'll admit, this would be most useful in campaigns that scale to the party's level.
Checkbox would still help tons
As an example, the "Factory" level in the recent Winter special area would scale enemies and drops to the highest level character in the party. Now, let's say you've got four level 10s running around, doing the quests for the snowman helm or farming, whatever. All of the sudden, in the middle of a fight with a bunch of mobs, a level 50 joins the game. INSTANTLY, the enemies scale up to level 50 mobs, and the party wipes.
Yes, I've been there. And yes, it's bloody annoying.
