    What are you going on about? A challenge by forcing me to be capped? There is no challenge in that. I have already beat the content. I already know the content. A challenge isn't "I hope everyone is as knowledgeable as I am in this instance." That isn't challenging that's just luck of the draw. If you cap people based on gear and everyone is knowledgeable it will be a one shot clear the only difference is that it'd take longer so you're essentially slowing everyone down. By the way the reason low level instances are capped in this manner and high level instances aren't is because the low level instances are supposed to be a tutorial preparing players for high level instances. This prevents a 50 from queing with a level 20 and soloing the instance preventing the level 20 from learning anything.

    Want rewards? Take at least a bit of challenge. And have overgeared faceroll "fun-only". And no-sync option allowed only after u cleared instance with sync on.
    There is no challenge being scaled down. I repeat. There is no challenge. People know where to tank the final boss in AK to prevent everyone from being hit by his aoe. Everyone knows to break from the boss when he does said AOE to burn down the add. Everyone knows the pattern for demon wall. Everyone knows how to deal with the bee's. Scaling our gear down doesn't suddenly make us forget this information. You're just making the instance take longer.

    Exactly.
    Happens the same on WP and AK.
    A newbie can't really "learn" them if everybody else is speedrunning/facerolling the instance.

    A newbie will screw up the speed run if they don't know how to speed run. They'd have to be taught the process and successfully learn the process. Sorry you also missed the point. By being level 50 they already passed the tutorial.

    I always thought that progression was about the level/difficulty of the instance. In WoW terms, a progression guild would push forward the Heroic raid until they beat it, only doing normal mode bosses if they're completely impossible with current gear.
    The reward for progressing past an instance is better gear and becoming more powerful.

    This.

    The real challenge is always the first time you're in a dungeon and everyone else in said dungeon is also new. I personally don't care if I join a speed run or not when I pug but I will care when I am asked to do speed runs with my static group and we're stuck in wp and ak for longer then we need to be.
