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

[Cakekizyy]

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

Everything loses value so fast in this game. Even those awesome weapons locked behind ultimate coil. Will be an absolute joke in a few months time. And absolute rofl stomp few months after that.

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

Originally felt really proud of my final witness title for clearing coils. Then soon as 3.0 landed bam just another worthless title that means nothing.

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

Doesn't remove fun for me, almost like different people value things differently.

I am only commenting because I want a first page seat to this whole thread.

I am too scared to express my opinion on this matter.

[bswpayton]

its so useless in my opinion..
u dont learn the fight, no fun.
for me SE should do first kills only Sync doable.
i also hate people mean fights are easy. then go in sync mean they can do it easy and then "oh this is hard" lol while looking for a group know wahts to do

I dont think this is the persons fault , just in this game you cant actually consistently do old content sync like youd want. Nobody wants to do the old content sync especially if they are doing it just to farm

I don't care whether people clear and/or farm stuff sync or unsync. Those things are not for you and me to decide on.

There are benefits to clearing things when relevant (when at level AKA synced.) When I do clear the duty (e.g., Sophia EX, Zurvan EX, etc.), I have more chances of winning battles and obtaining totems for whistles down the road. Heck, I can get my mount before the bads and/or forgetful ones start ruining the farm parties.

Most unsync farm parties for EX primals after Bismarck and Ravana are rather horrible and wastes time wiping to mechanics instead of using skill and their unsynced powers to farm mounts as the party description says.

It's not even the same experience any more doing synced as classes are very bare bones below 62 now for the most part, and since item level sync is very generous, it's ten times easier doing it synced then it was doing it current.

Unless you're doing it with 'minimum item level' checked, you can't speak ill of anyone honestly, and even then it's probably a little easier just because of how classes are now.

Easier? But classes in sync have less damage than they've actually had "on level" now when they're stripped to bare bones...

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.

[Hruodig]

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.

[Serilda]

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.
