I believe that many of those who are still railing against level sync have already made up their minds that they will hate it and NOTHING will get them to even think about giving it a fair chance.
Yes, I agree.

I was doing Heroics 2 missions and I noticed all i had to do was run into the middle of a group of bad guys and Vette killed them all without me raising my light saber. I tried it again and this time I just sat down watching the mayhem and realized I was no longer necessary. On and on Vette was able to kill over and over again until the fifth group and I decided to heal her but she was only down 5 maybe 10 %.
Before when i felt the need to ask for help because I was being beaten now I walk through everything like it was level 5 and i am 28. There is no fear anymore because everything is a pushover. NOT EVEN a challenge. Am i missing something?
You are so full of it your mouth must smell like yea. I think you all need to calm down and stop making up things just to sound more epic.
I can tell you I kill 3X faster then any comp working on my 4th ans 5th 65 now no boost. If your comp is out dpsing you then you are not good at the game. I will say the heals aren't OP they just need balanced cool-downs.

Although you can change your game play? Its called learn to pull more mobs. I love the game saying your are the great and powerful end all be all... Pulls two mobs and die. Now pull 5 and die. Its about time we could do that.
playing like we are one of the strongest imps or pubs ever! Can only pull one mob cant beat a boss unless in big group. Cant pull comps out and run 5 mans. Why not?
This game is bad its to easy CRY, BOO HO I pulled mobs and I was strong why did you do this I'm mad now!
Com on people pull some mobs see what your gear and Utility point choice do to make a truly what the game says POWERFUL. Or cry to be yet again a wet noodle.

To you that cry lvl sync down to 30 and 3 lvl 28 kill me!
Good! How do you like it? Not one time have I ran into a ganker spending 3 hours killing me and other players relentlessly over and over on your max lvl full geared toon! You people made it so bad that it became one of the top 5 reasons people left the game or went to a pve server. Not so funny now is it.

I consider gearing obsolete when having your main stats and armor rating synced.

Actually Armor rated while adjusted isn't set it is based on gear, The only stats that are hard set and not gear based during level sync appear to be Health,Power and Endurance. Just because you want something to be true doesn't make it so. May be instead of focusing on what you believe to be true actually play the game and learn it isn't.

That original quote: is right on. Remember, this: the job of a company like Bioware or any company. The owner needs to listen to its customers. And not keep on doing things over the protests of its founders or customers.

This Expansion doesn't really do anything. Except make people unhappy. In Business, This is something that mom said: the reason why AT&T stayed in business for so long. Beat out all the rest. Is the ability to listen to the customers and what they want.
Bioware: Might listen but not its customers. But to its stock holders. Which is my theory. You see I know just alittle more than the average bear. If you get into the business end of it. I might not know a lot. But Like my Mom said: If A company doesn't listen to its customers(Players). Then they'll lose profit and go out of business. End Quote. That goes for The people who first played the game in the first place. <--Like myself. I have explained more of my fair share of why don't like the expansion.
May the Force be with you. May the force be with us all.

My reason list as follows:

1) The Original Companion gone not getting them back. (Disappointment).
2)The Warzones (PVP). <---Some of us don't like. And the PvPer's don't like us PvE on warzones.
3)World Bosses take a long time to respawn. Or you're searching for trophy creatures.
4) The Racqghoul Plaque. That's a bummer. You have to wait for that to come around. In 2 weeks and 3 days.
5) You have to be a level 65 to purchase mods for your armor. If you don't do the expansion you're screwed.
So you're stuck with the credits. You got without purchasing anything. Accept on the GTN.
6)The level syncing. Makes things really hard to play. If you have a disability or way too easy. When some of us are weaker then others or not really that good. The other way was really better. The public was happy. They were doing there thing. Helping each other, doing there own style of play. That's Awesome sauce.
That's it for now. There are more. As I go along. I'll share more.

FYI: Remember a job of a company inorder to stay in business is to meet the needs or the demands the public. Not to please its pocket book, Share holders, or some group of people who don't like MMOs and turn it into a RGP.

If Bioware want to seriously do some real good. Then please don't force us to do those things. Because a happy customer(s) is a pleased customers. A pleased customer will tell all there friend(s) to make a Character account. Then it will grow from there. But when the mass majority of people that don't like it . Then they must listen and don't do it again. (People who have been here since the founding of the Game)

For all those who are knock on others. Please listen: Don't okay.. They have a opinion. That's fine. We or they can't help how they feel. Thanks so much.
May the Force be with you. May the force be with us all.

That doesn't make sense. I've tried it. And its really bad. If you want to force feed people that's great. But remember my reply before. The job a business is to listen to its customers that's how they make profit. I said it differently. But that's the jits.

You paid 200 million before launch and payed the cost to maintain and run 17+ server. I would guess not so you can't claim you paid for the game. But if we are talking about paying. I paid for 4 account (2 of which are founding) that made early launch and a 5th account paid. So I guess if we talking how much we are paying I should get 4 to 5 to your 1 vote. I also have another friend who has 5 accounts for his family and is talking about a 6 for his youngest.


Have you played the game since 4.0; have you actually tried level sync content. Really all you are whining about is a number on the character sheet . I have it take 3-4 shots to kill a group of mobs instead of 1. I have been running heroics all day on a sniper apart from the bosses I am pretty much suppressive fire everything. I rarely ever go beyond 3 suppressive fires. It seriously takes no skill or anything but punching 3 or 4 buttons and It probably could be done pushing just one button.

I actually think level sync has made the game better but then again I went in with an open mind. If you go in saying you will hate some and these are the reason why. I don't think you have BW to blame for why you didn't like it.
Good point Good. I didn't know that.

I've been playing for 3 years Dala and armor rating is based on gear armor rate (determined by mods if adaptive).

There is a character armor rate as well, and it is compromised too.

I always verify info.

I have now unsubscribed my account from SWOTOR.

SWOTOR with level sync sucks, i have now forced myself to play through several hours more and it's even worse then i thought.

Low level mobs now knocks you of your mount, really fun is it not? This is surely makes the game more immersive don't you think?

Waiting long time for low level players for world bosses, awsome! I don't have anything better to do with my time. Don't you love the feeling to sit down with a game and WAIT, really awsome!

Having low level players without skill given the right to play high level instances and kill the hole group because they don't know their role and are to inexperienced, is it not great?

Having rendered your gear basically useless, don't you feel that all that time you spent on it was worth it?

Having your comp be 3x times more powerful then you are does it not feel amazing! I always dreamed i could be Robin and my comp is Batman that really makes me happy!!

People that loves level sync are probably console gamers that loves everything dumbed down. Take away all micromanaging and take away all the hard work and hours people put in building gear for their characters and comp's.
Like Morrowind > Oblivion.

Players can now hit max level with one day of intense gaming, don't you all feel that is fair since you used several months?

You have earned the right to be powerful because you where smart and did clever micromanagement on your char and comp!

With level sync they might as well remove character level's all together and give you 20x lollipops witch you can use for your non existing pointless gear for you and your comp! Awsome game for kids! Maybe later we can play candy crush together!?
