Level 50 Dungeon Level Syncs

[Avraym]

Hate it. Even the whole level sync makes me writhe in agony.

The idea that low level content almost always takes x2 or x3 longer when geared than its lvl50 counterpart to me is just silly.

I find that one of the most rewarding and satisfying reasons to play mmorpgs is to get stronger and develop your character.

Level/item sync is just a massive wall to this. I understand its purpose, but to me it's just not warranted enough.

Imagine how great it would be to take one of your mates through some old content who really needs it for the clear or the gear, and being able to just go in together and smash it, without being burdened by queue times or required roles.

If you can only use the full capability of your ilvl 110+ gear in a small percentage of the game content, then it really minimizes its overall value.

if you overgear it as much as typical today, why are you running 2 whm?

Uh. No offense, but that's kind of a silly question. I said I have two white mages I usually run with, not that I run with both of them at the same time. All of us have multiple roles at 50 and well geared (i115+), so one runs WHM and one runs BRD/BLM. The point is, neither of them have a problem with putting the hurt on some adds instead of just kiting them to the tank. Hell, I sometimes heal it on SCH and smack the adds around with energy drain/ruin II.

I think it should be removed. I worked hard to level up and gear up, why punish me by nerfing my stats?

Its not punishing you, its helping the lower players as stated many times before. Say you're doing a roulette or working on a book, or for whatever you need to do a level synch dungeon for. Say you get Sastasha you go in full ilvl120+, you could probably solo the dungeon. How would a new tank or healer be able to actually do their job? A new tank couldn't hold aggro off you and your HP wouldn't even probably move so a healer wouldn't be doing much, no learning. A caster DPS class may not even get a spell off before the mob is dead. Everyone always says that the early dungeons are for learning your role. You can't learn anything if don't actually get to play your role, leading to further complications after 50 content.

They're working hard to level up too, you were there once, give em a break. Remember there is no "I" in MMO. Don't be "That Player", oh wait.......

Then they just sit back and relax. *Shrugs*
No other game punishes you for leveling up and no one has complained about an over geared high level one shotting things in a dungeon....ever. You should learn your class before you enter dungeons in my opinion...that's what the big ol open world is for. I practice pulling and healing in between dungeons, not when I get in them.

Sit back and relax, hmm, "why am I playing this game? To watch other players do what I should be doing?. Solo tanking and healing in the open world, big challenge there.

Almost everyone here watches other people play. Hence the whole "watch the video first or get out scrub!" mentality.

You pretty much always solo tank. But no, I grab these magical things called "friends" or join fate parties. I either pull as much as I can and practice my tanking rotation, holding aggro. Or I have people not dodge aoes and grab big pulls to practice my healing. So far, I've never gotten a complaint and always get complimented on my tanking/healing skills.

Do you really think any fresh 50 cares about something like that? They are mostly like "cool" getting over it, and after a week they have the gear to hold aggro (dont see any reason why a fresh 50 dps or healer would be angry about overgeared people in his group.)

Me. Constantly in WoW. I HATED leveling up, and someone brings their max level buddy and say "Don't attack or get any agro I'm pulling the entire dungeon to the end and AOE'ing everything down." /sigh What a boring run this is gonna be. I hated "The Plow".
