So I've been wondering: OCC is sync to 700, however, its gear and upgrades are all above the iLVL sync. Meaning all materias are ineffective while on the island

Is it intended? It seems rather odd to not meld the OCC gear when there's a high end raid. Also, hovering on the gear shows that it does not display the sync down stats, but their true stats, while the character attributes info does display the correct stats.

Is it intended? I'm kinda confused
Thanks
