    That's exactly the reason you can't do Ultimates unsyncked.

    ^ This.
    Challenge is the sole and entire reason the ultimate raids even exist. A central part of the design of the Ultimates is that they are very tightly synced, making it impossible to outgear them.
    You don't have to like that, but then you don't have to do Ultimates either.

    They are relevant the expansion/patch that were design for. Later they are irrelevant. Mythic in wow is the same but they give you special achievement when content is relevant. In the later expansions you cannot get that achievement so i do not see it being about challenge.

    Not true. Challenge is the main point of the Ultimate raids, and as long as they are challenging they aren't irrelevant.
    Making them unsyncable, now that would actually make them irrelevant - and thus should not happen.

    Decrotizing

    I just have to. I'm so fed up! I want to be able to solo old content including the previous expansion (Endwalker). There is no logical reason why this can't be done. Just nuke the HP bar OR make the tard bonus super strong if the content is un-synched or something. ANYTHING! How hard is it to go back and just switch a couple of numbers around???? PLEASE SQUARE ENIX, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE GODS, change this! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! We pay 15+max retainer subs a month and you can't change this???? Let us enjoy the content we missed and prefer to do alone!

    This is not true in the case of Ultimate. As Rongway said, Ultimate was designed specifically for players seeking challenge and they were told that SE would do their best to ensure they always remained a challenge by always requiring them to be level-synced and ilvl-synced. Job changes are not designed to make Ultimate easier and only those who do them can say if job changes have accomplished that or if they are now effectively easier because there is a wealth of information about how to do the mechanics available online for later participants to study.

    This is not WoW. As a former WoW player myself, I'm glad it isn't. While it's natural to judge the game by our experiences in WoW, don't make the mistake of thinking it's going to be exactly like WoW with the same motivations behind the content design.

    I'm sorry you don't like the answers you are being given but they are nonetheless the truth. If you want those shiny weapons and Legend titles, you're going to have to join a party and progress them synced. Many players are continuing to do exactly that.
