Goodbye Garuda Hard?

[Canadane]

Imposing a ilvl sync would fix it easily. The problem then is you would see a huge drop in numbers of people running that content. Striking that balance is difficult.

If anything, the numbers would return to a normal, expected amount.
People farm Garuda HM over and over because she's the quickest primal to down, and people farm their lights, achievements, or whatever on her. A huge drop when there's currently a huge surge is not exactly a bad thing.
