Level Syncing isn't the best solution

[Macleod]

Really?? last time i played swtor and have been sync down for like let say Taris i'm still stupidly overpowered to the people that havent got over the planet level

Well I was really just referring to how they level you down and don't take away abilities...but since you mention it, using open world planetary things isn't really a good comparison because the open world level sync still puts you at a higher level than intended for the specific planets' content, so of course you're going to feel overpowered. It's better in dungeon (flashpoint) type content there, which I think for me is where it really is a drag here...nothing like queuing up for a leveling roulette in your 50s or 60s and getting stuck doing Sastasha or something...oh yay I have 2 abilities, this'll be fun!
