Just yesterday I was running gubal solo for an item and a guildy logged on and asked whats happening and I told her and she joined in, and we done that and a few other unsynced stuff for her as well all afternoon.
    This happens quite regularly and it is something to do.
    Now whether its something you like to do is beside the point, and you cannot claim its not content. Anything that eats your time up while logged in is content. And i can tell you now, if I had to run gubal synced, I wouldn't have, I would've just found something close from the MB.

    I don't seek nor gain validation by peer comparison so no, it don't bother me not one bit.

    That being said, I do give props to those who went through the unfiltered content the first time it came around.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    I don't really care, content isn't sacred. Un-syncing was the only way to convince my more casual friends to go into a8s, my favorite fight in the game, with me, to just show them how fun it was to me.

    I prefer to do things with my friends so because they have something against us being able able to enter with fewer than eight people this happens a lot. But we don't faceroll it. We do stupid things like trying Weeping City with just five <70 players and wiping millions of times, and end up knowing the mechanics better than any fight we did properly. Heck, I still don't know some of the mechanics in dungeons I've run at level half a dozen times, because they don't matter. Conversely I know I was carried through loads of boss fights when I was newer and at the right level because the difficulty is so soft in non-extreme content. As healer main there are a lot of mechanics I can get away with not knowing at all (and some, of course, which I need to know).

    There's a lot to be said for the challenge of doing things the hard way compared to clearing Ultima in 15secs and skipping every single phase in EX content. Things like special achievements should require syncing or better (because sync is not very balanced), minimum ilevel, but ultimately if other people want to faceroll the entire game that's their call. I'm not in their party so it doesn't bother me.

    That's what's great about this game. You can play however you want. Synced/Unsynced you'll find others to share your pain. As someone who cleared 2.0 content synced, I fully appreciate doing the 3.0 content unsynced as well. Do what you want, when you want to. It doesn't make people better for clearing it first time synced. Sure my friends missed out on the 2.0 shenanigans, but I don't blame them for doing them unsynced either. I don't feel like you lose much at all so long as youre still having fun doing what you're doing.

    I do them synced for a few friends that like that.
    It's always very fun.

    Who are you to tell other people how to have fun in this game?
    If doing content unsyched is no fun to you personally, thats fine and perfectly understandle - you can avoid that option. But not everyone shares - or has to share - your opinion.
    Some people might not enjoy learning the fights or wiping over and over again - and so what? It doesnt matter with that old content since its not hurting anyone if people get their kills synched or unsyched.
    Why does it matter to you how someone else has fun with this game?

    And dont think that the unsyched-option removes all challenge! If you go in with a full group - sure, most content becomes faceroll easy. But try going in with two or three people - or even solo!
    When HW came out two friends and I cleared T12 with only the three of us on level 60 - my boyfriend and I duo'd Titan EX (with an ilvl around 190 or so). Recently the three of us killed Sophia EX (okay, granted, wasnt as much of a challenge as I hoped it would be...).
    If people want a challenge, they can have one in the game - but whats the point forcing it onto them? Sure, they could just ignore that challenging-content alltogether, but that would only result in that content dying completly and thats not really the better option (at least not in mine or Khloes book).

    As long as they're not interfering with your personal gameplay experience let people play how they want to play.

    Also, little edit: In case you're unhappy because you cant find groups to do this content synched with for your own first kill: We're on the same server, find me ingame and I'm happy to help!

    Is it really so annoying as to elicit a powerful emotion like hate? Not for me. I think fights are fun at level, as much as I think it's hilarious to break them unsynched.

    It hurts :[

    EDIT: However, on the other hand, having unsynced is good because it makes farming quick paced and ppl get their whistles or mats at a faster rate; well depends on how fast the item drops lol.
    ...that's a very deliberate design decision on the part of the devs.
