Nope and no. If I was stuck with sync and progressing at a snail's pace, I'd likely be begging for that jump potion.
Honestly if you couldn't unsync the old primals I probably would not do WT at all, and I love doing those fights as intended. Trying to find a whole group that can though... Yeah no.
Nobody is forcing you to underman them.
Yes, I enjoy doing tails the way me and my friends are doing it atm - believe it or not, I enjoy playing the game and having a motivation to do the old stuff again is nice. There is no need to word this as if I'm being a pervert looking at a Miqo-kid, honey.
The problem is this is why SE is needing to sell leveling potions. I played on my wife's account for a year and then bought a pc, so I needed to start all over again. It took me 2 months to get through HW playing at least 6 hours a day. Queue times are abysmally slow for dps and when no one queues for synced content it takes that much longer....
Can't edit on mobile.
Some new players don't even know what FC's and PF's are and even with mentor chat some people may not be comfortable with it. I know this was my first mmo back in 2014. Large learning curve lol.
So, when something like WT tries to make old content relevant again for new players, Unsyncing it only benefits the old player base and still does nothing for the newbies.
Queue times have always been slow for dps and the content you need to progress within the story isnt included in WT - pointing at the dungeons would be a real stretch here.
This isnt the reason SE "needs" to sell leveling potions - the reason for that arent even the dungeons/queue times but all the long winded filler-quests after the end of 2.0 and that you have hours of quests to do before you can access Ishgard. Not being able to get into EX-primals has nothing to do with it.
Well, making WT synced only is only going to make more people use retries on current content, and you'll still have next to nobody queuing for old content. Not many people even do Nidhogg, Ravana and Bismarck anymore, and those are just the easy HW primals.
