This is a perfect example of it (same with Bozjan). 435 is attainable almost immediately after you hit 80. What is the point of spending time gaining gear and power if it is rendered useless constantly?

Yes, those vet players "would have and advantage" and they SHOULD, even if just slight. They worked for their gear. Even a 450 / 460 ilvl sync would have been better than a 430 / 435
If it's synched at 435 then it's obvious that SE wanted a completely level playing field. There's really nothing wrong with that; not all content is intended to let people walk in with a clear advantage.

That said, I do think SE should release more content that allows people to leverage their hard earned gear. Making the end game character building experience feel meaningful is one area where this game seems to fall short.
