Attention all players and Devs - 4.0 most complained about new feature. LEVEL SYNC

Easy and for consoles gamers yes correct.

Inversely I've seen posts go the exact opposite.

1. People who love the concept and will go to any lengths to defend the game saying there is no problem with level sync.

2. People have no idea how it works and make statement which are completely false about it.

3. People who claim two completely opposite thing are true. It makes me have to group and makes content too easy to beat.

4. Or the complete irrational person who just goes on and on about how it is the answer to every thing .

It's a polarising feature within the game, that disrupts different play styles of individual players as well as complimenting others. This is probably one of the defining reasons behind it being better as an optional system. I've seen lots of posts about why it also can't be optional - and not a single one of them has been well thought out enough as to why it can't be an optional system (more of the "memememe" type posts sadly). I've even gone through and suggested in a post about how BioWare could make this an optional system that caters to all the different play styles.

This is the main point though, an MMO should be casting the widest possible net to gain players, not throwing out the ones it doesn't want and wasting that chance to grow it's population, and by doing so it's potential income.

As a shareholder in EA when I see decisions like this, I hope EA as a publisher comes into BioWare at some stage and puts them on the right track, because then as a gamer and a shareholder it becomes a win / win situation. I can't imagine how much money was wasted on this sub par system.

that's a lie ok pop to drummund kaas take out "The First"boss then come back saying you can solo it as you cant your companion gets feared and doesn't operate so that statement you said is invalid.

I play a tank and healer and as with sync have decided I cant be bothered using them for that role anymore.i might be rerolling all as dps as they are so over powered now take the other day I was on my gunslinger and my companion did all the work I targeted 4 lvl 60 mobs walked into kitchen to cheak on dinner and came back he was still alive and comp has slaughtered them all so my toon is obserlite now then I went to drumund kaas on my jug and took all buffs off btw I went from lvl 65 to 18 with the sync so anyway took all buffs off dismissed my companion then proceded to goto the mobs in shadow spawn and wow I was still over powered any chance of a level decrease again my recommendation would be level 15 for that planet and stats can be lowered abit more while your at it bioware as obviously who ever complained before asking for a nerf didn't do it properly now I'm here I can take over and give you the proper values seeing as I'm here as they didn't give you the correct ones I might as well jump on the band wagon as they say so sue me if they do.i know what take the comps away we don't rearlly need them anymore that way we will feel all powerful and thus make this game hardmode.as if they would listen to me don't worry it wont happen I'm only one and one doesn't sway a vote.

I have posted my disapproval of level sync earlier on in this thread - and I have since participated in a few more "tactical" flashpoints - and I must say, my view has not changed - this seems to be a case of "it looks good on paper, therefore, it must be the right decision".
Again, I was level-synced to 65 from 60, and again grouped with much, much lower level players bolstered to 65. And, before you start on me - I am not dissing lower level players as I know we have, ALL OF US, been there. And that is why they HAD low level flashpoints so new and / or inexperienced players could participate in group content. FANTASTIC! All for it.
As luck or chance would have it all of us are dps - seems like still nobody is rolling tanks and healers - and that wasn't really a problem pre 4.0, but now is quite a different story. These "tacticals" suddenly become more like hard modes.
Again, some members in these tactical flashpoints were first timers and they died… they died a lot, and that's to be expected, nothing new there - like I said we have ALL been there.
This means you're down to three, two or even one player, trying to survive through a fight.
The lower-level players soon left the group, probably because they felt like they were letting the group down, but most likely because it's no fun getting your butt handed to you in every mob fight.
This left the rest of the group in a bit of a predicament, where we were too far advanced for replacements to solo their way to us if they happened across a mob that we avoided or CC'd or some roaming champion that was not in our path at the time, and we're stuck in an area where mobs / elites / bosses are too hard for us to progress forward without a replacement.
I know one of us can summon a companion, but that's not really the point and negates the reason for introducing level-sync. So, it's back to queuing - Great! More downtime!
What should have been an enjoyable 20-40 minutes of group finder where explaining a boss fight to an appropriate level first-time player - something I like to do because it helps a player to "grow", turns in to a not-so-enjoyable, tedious and laborious effort, because even though a first-time player may know the "mechanics" of a fight, they're just ill-equipped to survive it because they're level-synced 40 times past their level.
If you're goal is to make every encounter "challenging", why not include operations in to the level-sync mix?
I wonder how the players who like the idea of level sync would feel if, when pulling together an operations group, they didn't have the choice to post this little gem we see and "love" all the time in fleet chat, "….please be geared! Post your achievement! AND KNOW THE FIGHT!" and instead, be grouped with level-synced, under-geared, ill-prepared players.
There is a reason these operations are for level 50-65 players and there is a reason why there were level-appropriate flashpoints, and why they should be re-introduced to this game.
If nothing else, make the same rules for "tacticals" as hard modes where you need a tank, a healer and 2 dps. Perhaps that might make the experience more enjoyable / more survivable - I don't know.
Like I said in my previous post, I think I "level-sync" enough when I level a new character through every single planet so that when I reach the top of MY game, I don't "feel" like I'm levelling my character all over again every single time I revisit a planet. Even though it may be a bit easier than the first time, it's still a hassle where it shouldn't be.
And don't even get me started on level-sync problems where they relate to time-line / spoiler alert issues where someone new to the game is levelling their first toon through their class quests, then when they group for a random flashpoint, and if they make it to the end, it spoils their story later down the track. Its one of the reasons, I would think, that certain flashpoints can't be done until you're at a certain level or progressed through to a certain part of your story.

Level sync is one of the greatest mechanics brought to SWTOR. Good job BioWare Thanks for the good work.

My biggest complaint is about those who complain about level sync. I have one thing to say to you complainers:

I wouldn't agree with that. Level Syncing isn't a good thing. Level Syncing Drops people to the same level. Which makes it hardered on others. Also, negative comments helps the company improve the product. It teaches them that there's something wrong. If you keep on giving them positive feed back. Then they'll keep do that. And more people will leave the game.

Including, you don't know how a company works. And telling others to Learn to live with it or leave is wrong and hurtful. Please stop. Bashing others.
