Eureka Suggestion: Some sort of level sync. Or de-level (other than repeat death)

Maybe. I imagine that's really tedious for the PLD, though.

Naw, if the tank is over-leveled they can solo anything. If you need help I can tank stuff to help your group catch up. HMU on discord since we're in the same DC.

Have they not seen what players did throughout the history of the game? As soon as players figure out the mechanics, they optimize to minimize time and effort. ALWAYS. That's what players do. Players are very, very good at that.

If nobody at SE saw this coming, then they have an astounding lack of understanding of their own customers.

Well, going for 5 years since ARR and they still make these mistakes. I do honestly think they didn't anticipate it, as absurd as it sounds.

I am more dumbfounded that they didn't put a cull option based on activity. 144 people in an instance and I can be very certain that a good percentage of that number is people on the outskirts of NM farms just standing there with the songbird cheer emotes. I am OK with Lowbies doing it, but you can always see people that can help (aka, High lvls), hiding in the midst of the crowd.
