    Dungeons haven't been done in proper gear since the release weeks, the 2nd teir of dungeons released in the following patch (Pharos Sirius, Copperbell, Haukke) was already overgeared on entry when the majority had obtained i90 relic weapons and myth gear.

    Running WP in standard i50/55 af an i55 grand company weapon (if you are lucky to have any seals left after promoting yourself to the level) or a lesser level dungeon drop or worst case cobalt weapon and whatever level accessories you obtained from previous dungeons was the norm back then. Things like killing Tonberry king before getting killed by the stalkers (requiring LB2 too) Not to mention of even entering AK and trying to beat the DPS race of demon wall.

    Pharos Sirius was tuned well for the i90's but people by that stage had defaulted to speedrun and overpower the boss tactics from running WP and AK millions of times. So most people just bailed out of that dungeon instead of even attempting to run it.

    I'm not sure what the reason for the level sync was in the first place as i110 seems too high to make any of the dungeons any more difficult than if you was i130 so in my opinion it seems pointless. If they were to add extra more stringent Ilevel rules to earlier dungeons the rewards would have to be scaled accordingly simply because you will end up with the old pharos Sirius problem of nobody ever running the dungeons to help people that need to do it since its a difficult task for almost no reward. Bear in mind that dungeons done at minimum or average ilevels cannot in any instance be speedrun and even pulling more than one set of mobs could be dangerous it could easily lead to doubling the time of the dungeon.
