[FEEDBACK] UNSYNCING + DIFFICULTY SCALING

[SpookyGhost]

I genuinely don't get why people care what other people get to do in an MMO. So what if people clear things in higher gear than you/with Echo/with unsync? Why does that affect you, personally? How little is going on in your life that you need these achievements in a video game and if anyone else wants them they have to earn them the same way you did?

This thread is a big lol.

As an aside, your signature pic is how I imagine the OP.

I'm far far from being an elist and I absolutely can't stand "casuals" that embraces unsync clears. Unsync option is giving players a handicap mode: 1) they don't need to get good, like ever!; 2) Unsync option should only become available after you clear it ONCE in sync/normal mode; 3) Unsync clears or nerfed content is a complete slap in the face to vet players when done it when things were "hard".

Sometimes I wonder IF current mobile game apps have a better skill building structure than MMO games....you want new contents? watch Ads or get good or pay more money...IF casuals want to pay more money for easy mode, great, I have less problem with that than just nerfing content so more players can keep playing and hit level caps and still dunno how to play their jobs well.

It's not a slap in the face, they had the benefit of having that gear and everything when it was relevant, just as they do now with Savage Alex etc. As I mentioned before with XI, people spent YEARS, and I mean, 5+ years trying to get even a single piece of gear, which later when the level cap was raised, became outdated and people got it in a day without any struggle. Now that should of felt more like a slap in the face. Who would seriously be doing coils if it was still synced now, with gear completely outdated, and having the gear added to craft which is dyeable. Final Coil may be ran for it's glamour still, but then new players would never get the groups together for the Binding and Second. There is seriously no need for the content to be synced still EXCEPT for allowing people to still boast about completing it.

Also, about not being good, sure, but they won't do anything that relevant recently if they aren't good, they will always lack years behind.

Do you also hate all other MMOs that don't even have a sync feature, where you are always the level you have reached with no means of going 'back' in levels when entering old content?

Also, with regards to not getting good ever, please refer to the former list of mechanics just in Coil that are essentially unaffected by being unsynced. Also please tell us how fighting Titan Ex at level 60 means you don't get pushed off if you get hit by Landslide.

Is it wrong that I think almost every thread is troll bait now-a-days?

Nope I do as well. It's why I have this as my signature.

I have a hard enough time finding decent people that want to do coil without level sync as it is. If they got rid of that option I think nobody would do it with me. Anybody that complains about the stuff not being difficult anymore obviously has not even attempted it new players recently lol. As far as SCOB savage, been trying to find a group for that for a while too but nobody is interested. I know one group that has cleared and they aren't interested in doing it again so I don't think level sync really has any effect on people doing that or not.

Maybe the community would be better as a whole if people actually stop caring what other people do or dont. I dont understand why do you even care if they got a title or an achievement or an item 4 months after you got it because they content was nerfed. Its childish. Move on, get over it.

[Kosmos992k]

People who validate themselves based on virtual items achieved in content in a vertical progression game are pretty much doomed. Others gaining those things today, more easily than you did a year ago should not threaten you or your ego. You got those things when it was hard, your achievement is safe. Whining about this now just leaves you sounding petty and jealous. Jealous of what? Move on to bigger and better things that those other players can't achieve right now. If you are skilled as you say, lead the way, blaze the trail, stand on your achievements, but do not condemn others to second class status in order to preserve your fragile ego.
