If a player doesn't have enough awareness to not voluntarily put themselves in that situation, or at least be able to recognize it when it happens, then practicing PvP isn't going to work for them. They'd have bigger problems holding them back.

Though, the reason why PvP ilvl sync is garbage (in all situations) is because MMOs are 90% gear progression. Being synced to an ilvl that's lower than myth gear (which we gathered well over a year ago) takes that away.

It can stay in FL where it belongs, so that everyone can keep their equal level playing field mini game for capping tombs. But it needs to go when actual PvP grows or the community will continue to die out, since PvP focused players aren't going to flock to casual content.
