Game too complex or easy?

[Melch]

You don't learn to play after leveling, you learn to play while leveling. If you power level your way to the top, and then try to learn your skills, you're putting the cart before the horse.

When you're leveling you understand how your skills work, but there's nothing to push you to the limits. Dungeons are pretty much faceroll (I only level in dungeons).

I really, really disagree with you, however I think the problem is that once a substantial proportion of the playerbase in these dungeons is at or beyond end-game, the inherent difficulty and mechanics of the party are fundamentally altered by the overgeared players. Tanks can't learn how to tank properly if everyone and their son can rip aggro off them - for example. When The game first arrived the idea of level sync was awesome to me because it seemed to offer a way of maintaining the relevance and difficulty of the leveling dungeons. Now we know that it's not as successful as it could be in syncing high level, well geared players, which results in unbalanced runs that get things done, but teach new players very little.

I wish level sync was more effective because too many people think the content is easy, when in fact they are still effectively overgearing it compared to the first time they ran it. Try running Haukke, Brayflox and Cutters Cry in gear that is around the level of the dungeon and see how easy it is then.
