Game difficulty, syncing, minimum ilvl and new players

[Ultimatecalibur]

Not every MMO has ilvl syncing. In which case you expect to make short work of the lower level content because that's how your characters' progression works.
It feels more frustrating here because this is a game where syncing is supposed to be done to pull advanced characters down to be proportional to the instance being run. However it's really redundant when said sync doesn't even prevent the content from being trivialized by gear regardless.

Part of the problem is that a lot of the old endgame content is level synced but not ilevel synced. Hard to take Praetorum seriously when your ilevel is synced to 250% the ilevel it was tuned for.
