Level Syncing isn't the best solution

[Merceus]

I'd feel more like queuing for lower level content if I could use all of my spells/skills. There hasn't been ANYTHING under level 50 that I haven't said "Wow, I wish I could use X, Y, or Z..." I don't care if I have to jump through hoops to get "the same DPS" as a sprout (which auto-attacks seem to be able to do because of iLevel scaling...) and if I am doing it, it's already irrelevant difficulty because most of the stuff I can do alone or with one other person...

Not having AoE in early stuff SUCKS. It makes it really hard to go near the Leveling Roulette.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that newer players not having the stuff you're using would turn them off and that is the most bonkers thing I've read, haha.
Seeing what you're going to be getting in the future when you're leveled is the reason I've gotten most of the classes to level 70 that I have! I can't even fathom someone seeing a higher level player use a spell/skill and thinking "Well I'm not gonna play since I'll eventually get that..."

You'd be surprised really >_> the old 2.0 beta test forums are closed now but in the beta test there was a set of players that were very angry at the idea of being put into the low level DF content during the test with 1.0 players wearing AF gear and using primal weapons. Their argument was something about maintaining the new game new adventurer integrity.

The only time I ever wish I had a skill is when I'm doing Stone Vigil Hard with a tank that either is undergeared or inexperienced and i'm on whm as avises hurt a lot post SB launch. Yay, you're one of the few people who aoe. Where were you and all these others who imply they aoe during my many roulette runs? Please don't tell me showing off your aoe is going to get a new person wanting to do that when we have a lot of new and old not doing that even when they finally are high enough on a job to do so and don't have to worry about other things if they're a healer or tank.
