Don't ask me how but they found a way to wipe in there, couldn't skip the cut scenes and denied themselves and him exp and tomes. It actually took them longer than a roulette run. They did finish, eventually and I was quite upset with them for attempting to do what has been done to many players prior to this change. I told them it served them right.
I soloed both places as WAR70 with 400 ilvl gear. It seems like the 70's who went in with them didn't have appropriate gear or common sense unsynced. Unsynced should have no bearing on the players like synced does (at cap). I've run countless people from 1-60 dungeons at 70 with WAR solo (me and the other player) and have had no issues whatsoever. I'm not saying that ALL players are that good (or well trained in common sense), but you shouldn't be trying to keep players from doing anything unsynced unless it's relevant content.
