I'm gonna be one of those jerks that says "unsynced shouldn't be faceroll content" because I'm tired of lazy people getting things by whining loudly about it long enough. Whether or not the content is "old" "dead" or "irrelevant" is, in fact, irrelevant. If you're not willing to put in even the minimal effort required to clear something unsynced, you shouldn't get the clear. As others have pointed out, it is really not that hard unsynced at ilvl270 even with an undersize party.

While we're at it why don't we erect walls around The Navel so landslides don't knock us off the platforms in Titan EX anymore. /s
