Forced Level Sync (inb4 vote abandon)

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.
