I guess you missed where people mentioned how new tanks already have problems trying to keep hate against level sync'd DDs and new healers trying to keep speed running sync'd tanks alive. It's not anecdotal, we've seen it happen. Repeatedly. For a year now. The problem is that the level sync'd people tend not to act like they're partied with new people. They think that level sync'ing somehow allows them to go nuts with what abilities they do keep, which is so very not the case. Imagine how bad it'd be if these bad players had access to the whole of their ability libraries? Nothing good, I can bet. I, personally, don't care about the lost abilities from sync'ing. You learn to make do with what you have, and use it responsibly. You know, 'great power' and all that.
