Can we get back to the merits/detriments of the suggestions in this thread rather than bitching back and forth about what the original design of CT was, who is or is not a shitty player, or who's virtual peen is bigger?

Allowing unsynched groups I still think is the best option here because we don't really need another roulette, roulette bonuses for outdated content feels like bribery, especially considering that if you want to run it, you can queue for it already. People just don't want to do it.

Doing it unsynched gives those that actually want to bother with it the ability to muscle through it with the extra gear and abilities you get from leveling.

I'd also suggest adding the ability to do unsynched through duty finder rather than requiring a premade through PF, because face it, if you've tried to make a PF for it and can't... then there's just not enough folks on one realm wanting to do it.
