Please just scale down ALL of my abilities when I help friends in lower dungeons!!!

Yeah, sure. Lets let the Warrior keep Defiance and Inner Beast in sub 35 dungeons. Cool, now you can solo them because trash and bosses hit like wet noodles under 35 and IB would heal for half your HP bar on a noncrit.

Those low level dungeons were designed with the idea that no one would have access to certain important skills that could potentially make a mess of those dungeons.

GW2 does exactly what you're asking for. And it felt awful.
I rather like this system, a max level player can help a low level player without invalidating the experience for the low level player.

I don't have a ton of experience but even running a lower level dungeon like Halitali as a scholar becomes incredibly easy because my fairy can take care of 99% of the healing and i can just focus on dps. If I had access to skills like sacred soil in copperbell then why not just fast forward us to the chests because there would be no real threat of death.

Agreed. I hate to rebuild a hotbar just for a low level run.

Because some abilities add functionality beyond their pure base damage.

A level 30 dungeon would not expect a black mage to be able to continuously nuke like a level 50 black mage can, all the while hitting thunderstorm and firestarter procs. Sure the damage of these spells could be scaled down, but the presence of Tier 3 astral/umbral buffs means the BLM will be spamming Fire 1 constantly, which a 30 BLM cannot do.

Or a Scholar with Leeches in a dungeon where they shouldn't be able to remove debuffs.

Honestly, there can be examples for every job. It introduces way too many variables for SE to try adjust for. The amount of dev time needed to implement this would be incredible.

Just set a new hotbar for the adjusted level, it only takes 30 seconds and can be done at the start of the dungeon or before you enter.

Why not just switch back to your base class? Unless you've made alterations to that bar when you got new abilities, it should be exactly as it was at level 30

Really.
How many skills need rebuilding for low level -.-
On the PS3 there's plenty of crossbar sets for a low level customized set.
Not sure about the PC - but this shouldn't be an issue on the PS3.

Just toggle the low level crossbar On/Off and vice versa for your main crossbar for the low level stuff.
Works fine for FATE's too.

^Even better!

I Agree with this for ONE reason, Because my thaumaturge at Lv.15! can use Stoneskin in a Dungeon run but my White mage / Conjurer at Lv.50 scaled down cannot.... really?! why!?

Because only your current class get level-synched
If you enter a level 15 dungeon with your THM, your CNJ is still level 50
