Level Syncing isn't the best solution

[HakaseNyan]

It's difficult to agree with anything going on. It's annoying you can't use your "full kit" when synced down, okay I get that, but even now leveling tanks have a difficult time with synced players. These are newer players trying to get through the content while learning their role. Gear means a lot to a leveling tank; the best available weapon for maximum enmity and best gear so they aren't thrashed around.

I know this is anecdotal but, I leveled WHM on an alt during Heavensward; at level 15 I put on the Acolyte's Set, and from 15 to 49 I would only upgrade my weapon. Through this journey I healed all manner of tanks new to the game. I even managed to see tanks that wore the Cavalry Set (or worse) up through Stone Vigil and Dzemael Darkhold. As many of you should know, those mobs absolutely tear through poorly geared tanks, and even the boss attacks can deal a great amount of damage. More to the point though - even the well geared tanks would have trouble holding enmity with some synced players that were participating full on (read: not rolling their face across their keyboard). For the tanks that didn't have the best gear, it was an utter nightmare for them, obviously, but it can be a nightmare without synced players too.

It's not fun watching a leveling tank have to fight for enmity. It appears even worse in the leveling roulette during Stormblood.

Hydaelyn forbid the DPS use their (or learn to use) aggro reducing tools. . . they still don't at 70.
