Stat squish confirmed: How will unsynced old content be handled?

[linayar]

People are complaining that current content, on current itemlevel for said content, is too easy, not old content that you only run for glamour anyway. And of course ilvl increase is going to make content easier, that's the whole point of it, to acquire higher stat numbers which you couldn't before.

My point is that we will still be stronger doing content unsynced than we would've been doing it synced, and doing content synced is already easy enough in general according to the community. It might be an issue if you're trying to solo certain former high end duties, but not all people that are unsynching will be doing it solo.

hopefully kinda makes sync duty not so much of a steam roll

I was really hoping that we would get something like a dungeon level sync to your level this xpac instead of stat squish, where if you're level 70 for example and do a sunken temple of qarn you have access to all of your level 70 abilities but they're scaled to the appropriate dungeon power level. The higher the level cap goes the more low level content is going to suck to do.
