why the devs take the lazy way out on low lvl content scaling?

Because lv20 dungeon mobs arent already melting in 3 seconds from archer aoe...oh wait they do. Anyone who argues against having your whole toolkit when synched down for the sake of "balance" is in some mad denial. Anything below level cap is a unbalanced mess already.

So if these beginning-of-ARR level dungeons are so easy, why do you care that you don't have your full rotation? Mobs wipe after one or two hits anyways? Sounds to me like you're not losing anything in that case lol.

Anyways, you're intentionally going to the most extreme example of things that are trivialized by stat crush and ilevel shenanigans to try to gain a point. Now do ShB+ dungeons. Any given class has lost at least a few skills in their rotations going from 90 to 70-something, therefore forcing the balance I speak of to be needed. And mobs don't "melt in 3 seconds" outside of running it unsynced at 90. And even then, it's not nearly as easy as that after that point.

Source: I literally stopped running unsynced solos for MSQ once I hit ShB specifically because I couldn't melt down mobs with my L90 DRG anymore lmao. Without level cap, even just going down to ShB dungeons: no more Stardiver, Heaven's thrust and Chaotic spring are downgraded to their base versions, I lose the OGCD of Wyrmwind Thrust after every two full rotations, etc. Oh and I think my second charge of Spineshatter? And also only 2 vs 3 Nastronds? Edit: oh, and the AoE combo has a transforming higher-potency skill 1 after level 82, forgot that.

So that's 5 or 6 skills that I at level cap, a 70s player wouldn't have, two-three of which are OGCDs in some capacity. And yes, even with the inherent strength advantage from levelcapped gear synced down, ain't nothing "melting in 3 seconds".

Probably-necessary edit: no, I do not have a full set of level 90 gear, I think my average ilvl was... 538? That sounds familiar for some reason.

But I'm guessing (hoping) you aren't implying that literally everyone ITT asking for skills retention during downsync is in pentamelded BiS gear or something...

Because its B O R I N G and you are constantly thrown into this low level stuff with roulettes.
