How level-sync kills the game for me

Since it sounds as though you didn't play through the expac's story, it's kind of necessary for the endgame Alliance system that was implemented.

If BW were to make level-sync optional, they'd have to rework some of how Alliance rewards are granted/quest rewards, as heroics would basically need 2 reward options. I personally wouldn't mind this, but you'd also have to keep in mind a player such as yourself may make doing heroics on-level impossible for other players, because you'd keep taking all the objectives as a 65, while others are trying to do Alliance grinding on-level.

Lastly, though you may have only farmed credits occasionally, the system in large part prevents credit farmers from gaining as many credits as they otherwise did before. Don't get me wrong - a lot of credits still drop from heroic quests - but they are weekly, and the mobs don't drop as much now.

Overall, 4.0 has tried to put a pinch on how easily players gain credits, and level sync is another avenue to achieving it. It's annoying in some regards, but I can understand why BW would do it. I do question how effective it is, because after 3.5 years of the old system, some players are so wealthy that it doesn't really matter now, and it keeps others from catching up and having the ability to buy items they would like to on the GTN.

No, simply make level sync turned on required for heroics, make it optional, problem solved

I understand exactly how it works.
You can use any green gear on low level planet and get the same stats as with 224 gear.
This means gear is useless, also the missions on low planets are useless, you get low level drops from world bosses and other npc's.
I think you don't know how it works.

So? At some point it doesn't matter because you won't notice any difference between 224 gear and 176 gear.

176 ? you mean more like green 70 gear.

If i put level 20 green gear on me on level 40 planet i'll have the same stats as with level 65 gear.
Useless.

Many people have already complained about this new feature, even the ones that this feature was added for.

I am a PvPer. I am poor. I do not have a lot of credits. I do not have the patience to earn credits via the ah.
Until now, I used to farm my credits for augments and gear optimization by killing mobs. I used to go to corellia, farm a day and buy my stuff from the credits I earn there.

I cannot do this any longer now, I am forced to do sh** heroics, which are buggy and overfarmed for a ridicilous amount of time to even be able to optimize the equip of my two main chars.


Level sync is annoying, the ''story-guys'' do not like it, we PvPers do not like it and most PvEers as well dislike it (with a few eceptions of course)

Why can you not make LS optional so you can activate it if you are in the mood of redoing some quests on a 'difficult'' level

I would highly appreciate if you could just let the players decide wheter they want to spend time doing something or not. I HATE story, I HATE heroics, I quickly farm my credits for my gear and then stay on the fleet until next expac.

Please this is not that hard to do.

Have to agree here, Level sync is usually a cool feature but it is also annoying, it makes your character feel weak, as you should have grown strong enough to easily defeat those old foes.
