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

It is just my personal opinion, but I do NOT want level sync to be optional, ever.

I firmly believe syncing should be imposed for all or none, I don't want some to 1-shot every mobs they encounter for the credits/drops while I am level synced (trying to get XP).

With this new level synch, you can still easily solo any H2, clear multiple mobs, with high influence w/ you companion - this is very much face roll content. If synching were optional there would be constant greifing (voluntary or not). On PVE servers.

It is true you can't clear an area by pulling 100 mobs and spamming a few AOEs, but with all due respect, I am hearing the World's smallest violin...

Sorry OP... just IMHO.

I'm a bit confused. I've been reading these anti sync threads, not all the responses obviously but a bunch of them. I'm honestly trying to understand why this is such a big deal. Un-subbing over this? How much time did everyone really spend in low level areas pretending they were godly by one-shotting stuff?

A personal anecdote before bedtime...

I too thought this was a terrible idea at first. It seemed to negate the effort I put into levelling up. I'm not the greatest player so I did side quests, FPs, WZs, etc, to gain XP and make things easier. So I was against level sync because I thought I was doomed to struggle more than I already do.

And then, I tried it.

I was 46, on Hoth for the Story quests. I ran a solo FP (Esselles) and jumped to 48 in there, with no boosts. By the time i finished the Hoth story, I had hit 50... but was still synched to 42. I said, what the hell, let's give a Heroic a shot, what's the worst that can happen... i die and run away?

I OWNED it.

So I did another... and another. No trouble, no deaths, even without a healer companion.

AND the gear I got was FAR superior to the lvl 48 fully modded custom gear that I was wearing, I even found some relics, which helped ease the loss of my hard-earned matrix cubes

So yeah, I'm sold on level sync. That being said, I don't think it eliminates griefing at all... I did have someone sneak in and snag an objective while i was battling the guards. I HATE that....

This has been just one old man/new MMO gamer's opinion....

^This.

If you actually try level-sync, you will like it. They did a DAMN good job. Thanks BioWare.

Now to you complainers: quit your griping already or get out of here. Level-sync is awesome and it's here to stay.

I don't see how it's a valid argument in favor of this system. Comps gearing needs to be reinstated and level sync optional. Tired of this casual mindset.

Well Said Well Said. You're thinking. Good Good.

Could not agree more. Amen!
