Level Sync needs an Off Button! : ).

I have yet to see you come up with an actual legitimate reason for level sync to have been implemented in the way that it has, when better alternatives have already been suggested by many players.

News flash, things change. News flash, not all changes are for the better.

The only reason that matters is we don't like it.

There's more to it. It invalidates any and all achievments and progress you made. Your gear? Doesn't matter. Datacrons? Nope you're stat capped!

They basically introduced an arbitary "you can be this strong and not stronger, ever" and decided to roll with it. It invalidates character progress, improving your character and companions etc some of the driving motivations behind why player invest so much time and effort.

You can look at single player games, where people go to extreme lenghts and level way past any reasonable level (Fallout 4) needed to beat the game, simply so they can "get that one perk also, and maybe that one...". Now imagine when they go to a certain zone their levels are downscaled, their perks taken from them, their weapons do less damage and their armor absorbs less incoming damage.

It would render this investment and effort void and this is what happens here. It takes away the biggest carrot on the stick that worked for games both single and multiplayer for a long time. Other games such as Final Fantasy tried it (talking about the single player game here, 8 in this case) and immediatly got rid of it. People started avoiding the leveling process like the plague, instead rigging the game to be as powerful as can be at as low a level as possible, because leveling up actually ended up hurting you.

It's not just that we dislike it, it's that it's inherently going against what motivates and keeps us playing, what gets us to invest time and effort into the game to improve our character etc. It doesn't matter to those who just level through the story, then throw the char away and level a new one as they're not affected by it, but it does to many others.

This is EASILY be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.

Superior and inferior players are in the nature of gaming. A Private in the military is NOT equal to a General, even if they happen to be sitting at the same table. A level 20 is NOT equal to a level 65, even if they happen to be playing on the same planet. And forcing otherwise ignores your "social norms" argument, common sense, and pisses off those of us who have invested time and energy into developing our toons far enough to be called "elitist".

That's because it makes perfect sense. You asked for a perfectly logical reason, you've now been given a half dozen. You're clearly not reading, comprehending and every ounce of evidence suggests you don't care to even try to understand viewpoints aside from your own.

+1 to Marauder.
