Exactly it's mandatory, it's forcing a choice on those who do not want it the very definition of the word:

mandatory
(ˈmændətərɪ; -trɪ)
adj
1. (Law) having the nature or powers of a mandate
2. obligatory; compulsory

And because it's a choice forced onto people some (myself included) do not care for it. What if I want to go to dromund kaas and do the heroics for extra datacrystals to get gear for companions, or myself or for an alt? Where it would take say a few minutes for a level 60 it now takes longer, that's time taken away. Secondly as said repeatedly it's not something I wanted and as a customer the person giving money to the people who make the game who pays essentially for their paychecks, their servers and equipment is not my opinion a valuable one?

Sorry to see you go DT can understand why though.

Yeah level sync; first thing I did was take a level 27 on a companion quest - a level 24 Corso quest - to Coruscant and got dropped to lvl 18. So how is that syncing to level? more like sinking the ship. I requested level sync to be optional before it released and it's worse than I imagined.

Also; big on my list of disappointment is that Corso can no longer wield Torchy, a big part of his character as he is the blaster geek. I also miss "let's have us some fun, Captain" every time I de-rez a vehicle. So how is Bioware big on "story" when they screw character elements like that? There's more to the character/story losses but 'nuf said for now. Maybe a different thread.

Yeah and they did that with Andronikos removed his second blaster pistol which was a stupid move I thought. I mean he's an outlaw, a gunslinger yet his second weapon is removed while Vette's isn't? *Shakes head* How does that make sense?

The problem is the devs made it mandatory Everrgreen which makes it I personally think even worse, now optional it would work for those who want to go that route and those who wouldn't but making it so that everyone suffers because of those who were in favor of it isn't right as I see it. That'd be like making it so Dr Pepper only has one flavor it's a bad business decision.

Some of the times when you get scaled down, take Dromund Kaas for example, as a level 18, you can steamroll through nearly every NPC on the planet just by sneezing. Several other planets also need to have their level's scaled down by 2-3 levels so we can actually have a bit of resistance to work with as a challenge.

I for one really like the new system. Syncing is great for lvling, you always get exp. You steamroll anything the same way You did before the 4.0. And for me running the Heroics now is far more quicker than it was before. Mainly because of the auto rewards and the teleport item. No need to run around the npcs, no need to fly around the planets, pop and Your by the quest area. Really don`t understand the arguments about it taking longer now. For me it takes a significantly less time that it did before.

I'm not going to say anything that hasn't been said already, but in case anyone from Bioware happens to read this, my Knights of the Fallen Empire experience was this:

  • Look forward to the expansion.
  • Excitedly log in to early access.
  • See what they've done to companions & level syncing.
  • Unsubscribe.

The type of gameplay I enjoyed the most - soloing old group content - is gone, so I'm taking my money & leaving.

Life's too short to pay for something you don't like any more.

Being able to backtrack and do missions with ease was a neat feature of SWTOR. I enjoyed soloing flashpoints and even helping a single person get through a flashpoint because no one else was in queue to do it. This update has ruined a lot of gameplay that will be almost difficult to complete because they may not be able to find a group to help.
