You keep going on how everyone is doing everything unsync'ed and getting their ponies or other mounts the easy way. The fact is most newer players skip anything that isn't part of the MSQ to get to the current content and end game as quickly as possible. Then if they feel like it they will go back and run old primals to fill in the blanks or farm mounts/minions. If unsync didn't exist most wouldn't go back at all. This is really no different than the long time players other than they were able to do the old content when it was current end game and people still played it. I know I have no desire to go back and run old stuff synced as it doesn't nothing for me. Getting GUD at combat skills that are replaced at level does absolutely nothing to improve my playing. So I will continue to run unsynced for farming or is I get behind on current content.
