    It doesn't punish the high level character- the roulette is specifically meant to retain the challenge of that content if you were at that level with gear that you could have obtained during that xpac- it'll still be easier than it was at launch due to both nerfs and of course the fact that you're basically in the highest level gear at that level... but it's as close as they can get. That's the point of the roulettes and syncing down, to not give people advantages. You also get aptly rewarded for it.

    If you want to do a level 20 dungeon at max level with your abilities, you can still do it unsynced- so the very thing you're asking for is already in the game. It's the best of both worlds since it gives players that want content that's always relevant and somewhat of a comparable challenge still have that, and players like you who don't want to be punished for being high level and lose all your abilities and power can also still do unsynced.

    Indeed. In a scenario with all abilities with sync down , If a warrior tank at 80 synced down to 15-50 dungeons could run rampant pulling everything and self healing with NF and and 80 WHM could assize, holy everything along with the tank, leaving say the two lowbies in dps doing nothing and being left behind.

    It would change the way new player experience the game. All dungeons for MSQ would be zerg fests as 60+ doing roulette's would all just go for it aoeing , self healing , insta this , insta that , all defenses up etc.

    Then you would get scenarios where a fresh tank player is left stood around confused as the high lvl healer , and dps who are there to do their dailies would go do the dungeon in a rush , or worse we would see rises in new players, at level for the content , being kicked because they will slow these impatient high lvls down.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
