Forced Level Sync (inb4 vote abandon)

[Jaykos]

Which is exactly why I even play this game. I think 110 is actually too high. I wish they would lower it.

Why you play the game??? It hasn't come in yet and its 12 months after the game launched.

Level sync in general is why I play. And people on the forums have been asking for ilevel sync for level 50 content since 2.2. I'm glad they've finally listened.

Level sync is great. Being able to run low level dungeons with new players/friends is a feature ALL mmos need to incorporate. This isn't what the thread is about. If it was optional it would of been a better move. Not forced on the entire playerbase.

Pretty much this. Level sync need to be optional

Frankly speaking, I'm glad that an item level sync is being implemented. It will force players to optimize their rotations instead of having to rely on high-level gear as their main boost in damage. My only gripe is that the syncs aren't lower for certain groups of dungeons, and nerfed dungeons aren't back to their former glory of difficulty. An item level sync is a step in the right direction. If SE could make more difficult 4-man dungeons in regards to mechanics and requiring players to know how to play their class to acknowledgeable effect, an item level sync may not be necessary.

Those are my two cents on the matter.

I'd just like to know what is so bad about keeping these places relevant and challenging at the same time. At i110 these dungeons are way too easy as it is, and it'll only get worse as iLvls go up. In ten years I'd like to have the same experience in Brayflox HM as I have at this moment, not go into it as a god, one shot everything and think "Hmmm, that was more boring than I remembered". Also let's not forget the fresh 50s who are still doing the gear stepping stone game. In a couple of days, they are going to lose being able to buy myth sets with Allied seals for cheap, so all they'll have are the dungeon run loots to work with while they farm. Why should those people get a watered down version of the dungeons we run, just because overgeared people make it too easy? Let's not forget the item sync works on players ABOVE i110, not BELOW.

It actually won't, that's sort of what this whole thread is about.

I do find it interesting though that I've never encountered a single individual in the game who was upset that new gear made them more powerful than they were before, but here it seems to be some kind of epidemic.

It may have to do with inexperienced or bad players being given powerful gear too quickly before they know how to play their jobs well. While upgrading your gear may give you a bit of an edge, that means nothing if the players donning it don't know what they're doing or don't follow mechanics that can potentially wipe an attempt. Some players coin people who participate in hunting Elite Marks "Soldiery Superheroes" due to only knowing how to zerg without properly learning how to play, despite having such good gear. Catching up, though it may be helpful, can also be a bane unless a player's skill improves alongside their gear through understanding how their role works and applying that knowledge to proper effectiveness.

Or it could be that some people's e-privates are so fragile they absolutely loathe the mere thought of other players having good gear. I, for one, believe that good gear is useless if you don't make the most of it. It is a simple boost to your stats, but the real potential comes from the wearer. The gear only emphasizes that.

snip.

That person had 50 level to learn how to play his class. learning his skill one by one. If by then that person STILL does not know how to play his class then there's nothing we can do about it. That person is classified as an idiot.
