im the only one hate people get first kill with unsync?

Wouldn't mind it so much if unsynced removed any rewards.

It removes experience and standard mob drops. That's enough of a penalty.

Will be an absolute joke in a few months time. And absolute rofl stomp few months after that.

If a "few months time" is a lot for you, then you should stop playing MMO games. At least RPG ones. Most people get bored of there being nothing to do after a short while, and there's nothing to do after a short while for them because the only content available is something that doesn't give them new shiny stuff better than what they had. If they had to wait for a year or more for new content, the game would be a complete wasteland...and closed.

Destroys a lot of the incentive to even try and earn anything in the game.

Again, if that's what you think, then this genre is not for you. If your incentive is not getting better but having and sitting on the top gear at the time for infinity, then go to single-player games where you can max characters and gears, and then do as you please with them.

And then people / devs wonder why players just aren't that motivated. Or why raiding pops are so low.

Raiding populations are low because raids are more challenging and require more ability to cooperate. Many people are unable to properly do the slightly harder dungeons, without taking advantage of the leeway they give.
Also, raids are where the hardcore players focus, and those players have very unfavorable opinions within the community. And getting a full raid of friends is something that only hardcore players can reasonably expect to get, ironically.

To begin with, only old dungeons are allowed to be made unsynced, anyway. And even then, unless there was an level cap increase, you will STILL need a party to actually clear the dungeons effectively. So yeah, unsynced does not decrease somethings value for many, many months.

Objection! Wasteland - yes, closed - not yet. Source: personal experience with SWTOR and roughly 2 years of no new content. Old content was much much more replayable and replayed though. Know why?
Unsync being much less drastic (running a lvl60 raid as fully geared lvl65 raid group is like doing primals synced, i.e. having max ilvl available. No more than that basically), way more instakill mechanics which are not just "don't stay in bad" and later on, sync up and not down so you retain abilities and so on.

Back on topic: Git gud OP.
I've first cleared all the primals in sync and yes, getting a group for titan/garuda/ifrit took days. But are you actually commited or not?
If you want bragging rights, go kill UCoB and it will last you until 4.2, probably more. Not good enough? Well here your bragging rights go.

Even now, you can't be completely oblivious to say a8s mechanics and still beat it. You had to have a tiny clue about o4s mechanics would you choose to kill it sync in 3.0. And theeen, you can underman and opt for some fun learning and devising new strats for undermanning. Half of this thread is saying you this, unsync allows you to do more, not less. If you feel offended... I don't know even. Try not to cry so much?
