    2. It IS relevant whenever the game gives you relevant rewards for taking part in it (E.g. signficant XP, materia, currency for currently relevant gear, etc). You can't make running old content relevant for progression and on the flip side give rewards that are relevant now.

    It's like paying someone $100 for winning a race with 3rd graders. If you're going to give relevant rewards, then make the content relevant. If you're not going to make the content relevant, then don't make the rewards relevant. I get that it's meant to fill the roulettes and make sure that people at lower levels can find groups, but at least try to rebalance the sync to make it relevant. People at-level aren't learning anything being carried through the dungeon by overpowered, synced players.
    1.) And? Its old content, what do you expect? This is normal in practically every MMO and I don't expect developers to go back and waste time and resources on content that is nearly a decade old. It's bad enough that level sync removes you abilities, the last thing we need is old dungeons being intentionally made slower for the arbitrary sake of "difficulty" from old content that was boring when it was new because they lacked any nuance in mechanics compared to what we have now.

    2.) None of the roulettes are relevant for progression and all of the stuff you get are just bonus perks for running them. If you're running roulettes for exp you should probably stop because its 100% not worth it unless you're just looking for a break from other content. Frontlines and alliance (if you get crystal tower) honestly being the only ones being remotely worth the time vs exp gained. Its not really worth it for tome grinding either and really only worth it for the materia currency if you have the job in need and even then....meh. Roulettes are a bonus, and for the most part a not very good one and are by no means required for progression.
