A8 used to not get to the best part of the music before the stat squish, but the stat squish actually made it better and I see it fairly often now unless the group is good enough. But it still could be made harder to skip.

I really think that old content should get some kind of adjustment to its stats to make it more in line with current endgame content so that it is more engaging for everyone, while also maintaining its uniqueness and fun factor of when it came out.
I think previous expansion content should be synced to minimum item level, but that could make a few duties too hard for new players and I doubt the developers would go for it anyway.

As a compromise, I think it could be tier-synced to the crafted gear or non-augmented tomestone item level for the tier it released, or close to that, so it recreates how some people used to be in raid gear and some people used to be in dungeon gear, creating a party medium that was somewhere between the min and max item level.

What does everyone think? Do you agree or think it is fine as it is right now?
Yes, I have always felt your pain, especially in A8. It's painful watching sprouts do it and thinking it's an extremely boring duty when, properly synced, it's a really fun dance that aligns perfectly with the music.
