I'm not interested in trolling and I'm not interested in bickering with anyone, but I want to have my two cents in, in the hopes that BW will acknowledge that many of us are unhappy with this completely unnecessary and obtrusive alteration.
I have seldom posted in the forums, even though I have played this game since it launched. Never felt the need before now. I have been on hiatus from this game for about a year, and I just came back to find a change that I have absolutely no interest in navigating. I don't like level syncing. I think it's a crude, ham-handed attempt to make old content relevant, stall content development, and moreover, I think it's an ugly story killer. I spent a long time levelling many toons, and don't want to have them busted from Dark lord of the Sith down to raw recruit. It nullifies the role-playing experience utterly and completely. And I don't want to be caught, as I am right now, spending valuable time grinding through Makeb, for instance, even though I'm level 65, just because I want to speed finish the content before KotFE locks me out of it forever. Hence, even though I just paid for subscription, I'm thinking I might cancel it and stop playing this game for awhile, until Bioware revisits this policy and makes level scaling optional, for those players who wish it.
It was a bad move, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.
