[To the Devs] WHY can't High Level Characters enter dungeons with LVSync OFF OPTION?

[Seriat]

I wouldn't say over powered. I would say it has max stats for that level depending on gear equipped.

I think gear needs to be sync further. I recently did a Darkhold on PLD for a FC member, went in as PLD, full DL/+1sword/+1shield. Our healer literally afked for 5 minutes and no one noticed as I kept pulling because I was taking next to 0 dmg. In level appropriate gear I would normally get hit for 200-400ish on normal hits. Not once during the run did I get hit for anything over 50 other than on the bosses.

[Divinemight]

Reason is we want to take our friends and complete dungeons fasters

DONT FORCE US TO LEVEL SYNC

atleast give you the option to turn it off whats the harm in it? NOTHING

Please stop trying to tune this game into WoW clone. WoW is boring with all these "new elements" they put into game after TBC. If you dont want to spend time in MMORPG, go play console game like Skyrim.

[Joshhoowah]

I don't see why you would want this. Don't you enjoy playing video games with your friend?

Wouldn't you rather spend ~30min playing a game together rather than ~10min face-rolling and having your little buddy tagging along after you.

I liked GW2, But the lack of Tank/healer roles turned most dungeons into fusterclucks of people running around in circles trying not to die.
Once the vanity system comes out, we will see a sort of surge in people with max level characters playing lowbie dungeons, because some of those lowbie sets look damn fine.

For getting proper loot for 50s in lowbie dungeons ... No i don't think that would work. Those lower level dungeons were not designed to be challenging, and a LOT of the XP in lowbie dungeons comes from killing trash, which a max level Tank simply will not do, which gimps the levelers out of a lot of XP.

Once the HMs for existing dungeons all make it out, hopefully the drops in those wont be recolored drops from the base mode.

It ruins the experience for any first-timers. Often I will jump out of Haukke Manor as THM/LNC/whatever I'm leveling up at the time and go in as my WAR to help my group because the tank left for some reason. The final boss is too easy even with the level sync due to me having my relic and my AF+1 chest piece. If anything I would say we need MORE level sync restrictions, I'd still like a challenge when I go back to these low places.

I have absolutely no problems with level sync, it's been a boon since it was introduced in XI, allowing people to party with lower or higher leveled friends. What I don't like, at all, is the solo level capping. You aren't learning anything in the process like you do in the dungeons, you're by yourself. Take the level 12 two stage story battle we all have to do where it's a mass combat followed by a demon. If you don't know about the battle beforehand you can easily get overwhelmed in the mass battle and murdered by the demon if you're a class that would have ordinarily kited a solo opponent. If you fail any part of the battle you have to do the whole thing over again. If you can't beat it as you are you should be fully able to hit the leves or hunting logs and level beyond the instance to give it a proper thrashing.

Yes.
The level-synced gear should have the stats 1 or 2 points under the right level gear.

There is a buff now after you failed it the first time. It should be no problem to finish this quest with the buff.

[Alhanelem]

higher item level gear is indeed still of higher quality when synced down.

[KupoNuts]

I like level sync and see no reason why should it be removed. It maintains the challenge for high level players who help out low level players.

It's a win-win.

[Zeille]

Yea, terrible idea. I enjoy the level sync feature.
