Quest Sync, really?

[Imoen]

Uh, I'll give you an agree, on the mount critique.

However; I don't see how quest sync is bad... like at all. Could you explain what exactly is bad about it? I personally think it is brilliant and I am surprised this type of thing didn't come sooner.

To answer your question, I don't see any reason for quest sync. I've leveled every 2.0 beast tribe faction and did the 2.0 storyline [spoilers incoming] of all the tribes cooperating together. What is the benefit is of syncing down when you could, previously, complete dailies on your 50 and turn them in on a lower level? If the concern was rewards, adjust them for the class you've changed to when you turn it in.

My problem is, the game has become a big sync/repeat-fest. There isn't a point in having a max level with decent gear because:
Going into a dungeon? - ilvl Sync
Going to do dailies? - Quest Sync
Relic - back to old dungeons and FATEs
Gear Upgrades - back to hunts

It's getting to be ridiculous. The only thing I log on for is raid and dailies because the story between rank ups is cute.

What is the benefit is of syncing down...(snip)

Your misconception here is that you're not "syncing-down," instead the quests are syncing to you. Whatever you're at, higher level or lower, the quests scale to you to keep them as a challenge. They do this with item-syncing dungeons as well, which is way better than level-syncing ever was.

I don't really even notice quest synch since I do the quests as the job I want to get the EXP on anyways (BRD/MNK Atm.)

I guess it'd be cool if SE offered bonus incentive rather than it being mandatory, but in its own way - this is actually a good thing. This is a system that will attempt to instill into players a wish to perform better on their selected class.

How so? Well, It's simple repetition.

In the past beast tribes, you'd finish on your level 50, then turn in with your 43+ class. You got no practice on the job you were turning in as, and thus, you might get to 50 without ever experiencing the majority of your 40+ gameplay. FATE's are already pretty good for this mindlessness.

I'm enjoying the insentive to play on my level 50+ class. Besides that? There's NO mobs that really get in your way while doing these. I dont' deal with random aggro's, unlike the previous beast quests which is why the 50 made it easier. It's just playing as the job and fighhting level-appropriate things as the job.

Hey news flash not everything is intended to make things easier. Doing shit at 60 and turning it in at a lower level is pretty much an abuse of the system, you can't possibly think that this is the way side quests were intended to be done.

Yes, because dailies are srz bzness & must be hard.

Convenience and fun of playing what ever job you want regardless of level 50-60 and having the quest change to match that level? So your argument against quest sync is that it wasn't needed? Am I understanding that correctly? (If so, that seems like a moot point since it is here now, so there is no reason NOT to have it now.)

The rest of what you said doesn't make sense, non of what you brought up is new, the game has been like this for a long time, even before 3.0. It sounds like you are more sick of the game itself. I'm all for ideas for how to improve the monotone more but... I don't see any ideas here.

What exactly do you propose, in place of the current system?

[Immut]

Yes, because dailies are srz bzness & must be hard.

It's a loophole in the system. They closed it. You need to start thinking from a game design perspective, not just complain about things not being faceroll enough.

[FoxyAreku]

People realize that without quest sync these would just be level 60 dailies right?

The whole (AND ONLY) point of quest sync is to give people another way to level their alts.

Why are people complaining about this?

Nit picking for the sake of nit picking?
No matter our levels, we've always been synced for all types of conten; fate's, instances ect
