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

[Mahrze]

Just remove the disparity level effect, no need for a level down system

Since the lvls and protean rewards are interwoven, all this would do is have some easy aoe spam job murder on lowbie areas and if the lowbies don't hit it, they get nothing. I can totally see this happen, and SE likely saw this happen too.

I agree that it would fix one thing, but then bring another problem.

Edit to save space:@ mahzre: The protean are already dropping like candies I don't see the problem at this point

Protean drop like candies when you're in your level range, if they dropped the same by 1hKO on lower areas, you'd have a bigger problem.
