Question about item level sync system, wolves den and frontline

Quote:

The item level sync system has been added.
When undertaking a duty utilizing item level sync, the item level of any gear exceeding the maximum item level will be adjusted accordingly. Unlike character level sync, however, gear parameters will not be subject to further reduction beyond that brought about by the item level decrease.

In order to ensure participants are evenly matched, materia bonuses, as well as the Morale parameter, will be ignored while item level sync is in effect.
* Restrictions will not apply to the use of player actions or traits.

As of patch 2.3, item level sync will be applied to the following PvP instances:

The Wolves' Den (Matched, IL 80) / The Wolves' Den (Light Party, IL 80) / The Carteneau Flats: Borderland Ruins (IL 80)

---

Level sync only becomes active when an item exceeds the cap level. It syncs materia and morale to 0.

Does this mean that we will be able to use morale in frontlines as long as it's i80 gear or lower? There has been mention that frontlines won't be using morale, but the description of item level sync seems to make no note of this, or is deliverately vauge.

Could we get a more clear answer?

seems that i90 and i100 pvp gear is becoming useless in the wolf den >_> Why having them in the first place then ?

Because it's a temp fix to keep win-traders (or possibly legit PvP'ers) from steam rolling people who are new to PvP with Frontlines coming out.

Once people like me who haven't gotten involved with PvP start earning some marks and get a little bit of PvP gear they'll remove the restrictions. But for now it's to balance it out, because if they didn't the amount of rage on the forums from new people getting into Frontlines and being decimated every single time would be intense. It would become another part of the game played by only a very small % of the population.

I think there might be a level capped instance and non level capped one for wolve's den

Frontlines is likely to never have morale by design (need to be accessible for all)

However, the way it's written seems to imply that someone in i70 PvP gear will still have morale, and thus roll over any other guy in i80 synced gear. That's just stupid and I really hope it's an error in translation

There's gonna be sync'd and unsync'd Wolves Den queue.

I agree with this statement, that's how I read the notes as well.
