I'm talking about ARR story mode trials. I wish it was the case that if there was a first timer in the fight, item level would be sync'd to the minimum to encourage the new player to learn their role properly and enjoy the fight as it was intended. I understand this would be inconvenient for people doing daily roulettes, but it's hard to get new players to feel motivated to keep playing when they get excited for this epic Titan battle and it just melts. Obviously higher level trials aren't like this, but new players forced to slog through ARR, it can be confusing.
I feel this - especially when helping someone new in the final battle of SB 4.0 and ShB 5.0 - the boss is supposed to feel epic, but majority of our gear outscales them so much that sometimes they can't even show all their mechanics - I feel like maybe not a min ilvl sync should happen, but there should definitely lower the max ilvl sync to be much lower when you get better gear, so the content does get easier when you get better gear but not so easy that the best expansion to date feels like a joke when you outscale them significantly.
