Dungeon Scaling

Would it be possible for SE to make it so the new Dungeons(ie the new Amdapor and HMs) scale to the Party's avg iLv?

Sort of like a certain Dungeon Crawler game featuring the Spanish Devil, where mobs would increase in difficulty as more players join your group.

Likely not at this point, but I like the idea overall. That way people get their desired challenge without too much of a discrepancy in gear requirement vs actual difficulty. I do however wonder just how that might be accomplished, but that's a dev concern. . .

Relic mode: Gear is synced to level 50.

They already have a system in place that can scale down a player. Having a mode that scales you down to 50 instead of reworking the mobs is much more feasible. Maybe add some vanity items or increased gil drops or something so it's more than just a "I want this to be harder."

This 1000x. Do want

It's labeled (Hard) for a reason. Work on getting better gear or stick with the lower level dungeons until you do.

I'm not sure I'd enjoy a feature like this or not, but the first argument against it that springs to mind is that it would lower your feeling of progressing. Since the monsters would grow (or shrink) to match your stats, it wouldn't matter what gear you were using and thus there wouldn't be much reason to get new gear and get stronger, which is a powerful motivator for many people to play an MMO: the sense that your character is progressing forward.

Dungeons/bosses that drops X ilvl items should always sync u down to X average ilvl. This way no overgear faceroll. The purpose of gaining strength is challenging the strong, not bullying the weak.
