one of the problems face GW2 it's the fact every area of the game have level synch attached: it doesn't matter if you're max level with full epic, whereever you go if isn't a max level area you'll get synchet, and of course your equip too.
While this sound a good thing, it actually destroy any sense of satisfaction in gearing up: no matter where you go, you'll run in that map with the same aggro you had at that level, with the same power you had at that time, feeling like you wasted time getting gear.
What's the point in synch the equip even in lvl 50 istances ? What's the point to farm for my full allagan gear and weapon if i can use it to full only inside coil ? Is that supposed to be a joke ?
