Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[geekgirl101]

At best you haven't seen people really argue that case, at worst this is a strawman. No one wants older hunts to be left unchanged, but they're not going to put level 80 enemies in areas where people who might not be able to level that high can roam around. Because not everyone has those expensions.
An ARR hunt mark should abide by ARR standards. If the problem is higher level players, then those players should be synced down when interacting with the hunt marks.

This has been an argument for a while and a lot of people have said they should be synced, but how that is to be done is the tough question. There's 2 possible ways this can be done - changing the hunts so that they are a FATE like Ixion, Odin etc, or application of a level sync to the zones so that on entry you are the same level as the zone like what is done with Guild Wars 2.
