It's time to redesign Level Sync

[Naunet]

Also, I'm curious as to which MMOs have nailed this? Besides WoW, of course, which I've already detailed on how what it does is different than level sync and why using it as a direct comparison is a mistake.

Rift not only scales you down but also up in level for dungeons. GW2's scaling is pretty spot-on as well. WildStar's scaling isn't perfect (still a bit overpowered if you're level 50 queueing for random normals), but it works and they'll continue to tweak it.

Honestly I just hate how boring rotations are at low levels in this game. There is absolutely zero fun in spamming 2-3 buttons in a dungeon you could complete half asleep. Maybe if the dungeons were more interesting, that would make up for it, but they're not...

How is that healer supposed to be able to even come close to competing with me, unless they nerfed the other skills so hard they aren't worth using?

Who cares about someone being able to "compete" with you? Baby Ifrit is only 4 players anyway.
