    I agree! And at the very least it would be nice to be able to use all the skills you have currently unlocked at your level when you get synced to a lower level.

    For example, lets say my PLD is level 50 and I queue for leveling roulette and get Sastasha which syncs you to around level 16. Since I've leveled PLD to level 50 and unlocked all the skills up to that point, I'm now able to use Circle of Scorn and all other skills up to that point while synced to level 16.

    Of course they would have to balance this, but it would make level syncing to lower levels way more interesting and fun to do.

    Well doing this would create a great discrepancy between the difficulty of the dungeon and the actions that would be available at your jobs level. Most are already easy but suddenly you would be wiping the floor with all the mobs/bosses which kinda takes any fun out of actually running them. You would also need to consider players who haven't leveled up as high and are the minimum level for the duty to which they won't have the same access to a ton of actions.

    Saying this you could in theory just pre-form a party, queue up for the roulette and because role requirements are ignored through this method, you could just 4 man RDM low level dungeons as the Vercure and Raise could essentially carry the party. Well that's just an example but less players might use the Roulette to play with solo players if they could just queue as whatever through a pre-made and have all their actions.

    I didn't want to go into detail, but that's why I said of course it would have to be balanced. So it comes down to -and this is subjective- what do you find fun about playing your role? For me at the very least, it's going through my rotation to the best of my ability as a DPS. So in the case of DPS, perhaps restrict the skills to your DPS rotation. The same can be said for Tank, since they also have rotations for DPS. Healers are a little iffy, but you could also simply restrict it down to their DPS skills.

    That was off the top of my head right now and I think that could possibly work as at least a first pass. Hope you get the general idea. If anything, the damage of certain skills can also be reduced if required, while level synced. Many things can be done to make lower levels more fun for higher level players, while still maintaining a good balance and not being too overpowered.

    That doesn't have to be the case. Take a WoW leveling dungeon, for instance. A level 109 could attend the same dungeons as a level 101, dealing some twice the latter's DPS (due not so much to stats, necessarily, but simply further abilities), but against mobs who seemingly have twice the HP (from his eyes and his alone), while in reality the mob's HP has been scaled to each participating player. It's just a different direction of scaling, allowing evenly for whatever the party may bring with it. The only downside, if it can even be considered as such, is that the higher level an underperforming player is, the more time will be required to carry him as the difference will be indirectly accentuated.
