You clearly either don't know what you're talking about, or are simply ignoring everything else has said that proves you wrong.

There is more to it than that... if you don't see it, that's fine, you don't have to see it...

But it is there... Level sync isn't going to become optional, the future design and development of the game depend on it being required...

This decision was made many months ago at a high level within Bioware and it won't be changed because of some posts on a forum...

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.
Clearly you do not understand how it works. that green gear does not have the same stats as 224 gear under level sync.

Furthermore low gear still sells for credits, but if you are really looking to make credits off of loot, you would be on Makeb and not a low level planet.

So you are saying there's something about you that separates you from everyone else, you don't like to have to earn your credits. Rather than crafting, dailies, questing, and flashpoints like the rest of us they should allow you to ROFLstomp low level mobs for money. Why stop there man? Why not ask for direct deposit?

Now I'm the founder of the Nerf Yo Self movement. People screaming for nerfs should have a way to increase their personal challenge without affecting everyone else. However, it appears you are starting the Pimp Yo Self movement, where they had out giant win buttons at the door.
The biggest problem with MMO's is that while they provide tools to /ignore the worst of the bad, there are no tools to /prefer the best of the good, or even /+1 would play again the perfectly average.

I can prove i am right, meet me on belsavis, i'll bring armor rating 60 green gear.
Also stims are NOT working, class buffs are NOT working / have no effect.

I've noticed that I can still solo everything at 65 with a >10 influence companion. I can't just pull the whole instance and just farm in a corner, but it's still easy to complete.

This has done a few things:

Made heroics fun again, I can help others or do more stuff.
Time sink, you can't just roll through everything.
Credit sink, you actually have a repair bill again.
Less credits earned, debatable but I believe things have been nerfed to reduce credits in the game.

It's a good change. Sorry you can't just afk fights anymore (but really you almost can) and it made your credits slightly harder to get.
See the stars, they're shining bright. Everything's alright tonight.

I just hate doing those quests. I'd rather mindlessly farm mobs.
You know if you do them in a full group of 4 and do the bonus missions, you get credits for everyone in your group that completes the bonus missions. Plus you get the alliance boxes with have credits and companion gifts you can sell for tons of credits on the GTN.

Also, what you were doing is one of the reasons they put level sync in, to stop excessively profitable solo credit farming, so using it as a reason to get rid of level sync probably isn't going to get you very far with convincing the devs.

I don't get how it kills the game.

When they first announced this, I had a fear that I would lose the ability to do the weekly +4 in the Black hole and the Weekly and daily +2 on CZ solo. But nothings changed because the +4's have gone to plus 2's and I can still solo the +2's on the higher planets.

The mobs don't drop as much, but you can run through CZ-198 Blackhole and Ziost in less then an hour and probably make about $300,000 in an hour

plus now with the fleet console you can really run through the heroics on planets, still do them solo and do it quickly because of the quick transport.

The change that I feared the most, made very little difference except that I can't sneak by mobs as easily because of the level sync.

Sure there used to be a seductive nature to going back to a core planet that you are massively over leveled and over armored and weaponed and take some satisfaction in one shotting everything but I like the level sync and a bit of a challenge much better.

And it does appear that having upper level armor in level sync makes a difference, a guy with green armor leveled synced on Alderaan can't match up with a guy with outlander lvl 65 armor against mobs.
