The latest update has ruined the experience of gaining levels and acquiring the better gear ratings. We are no longer rewarded for actually achieving this stuff. Instead we have more penalties when we do have the better gear.
If I go into an OP at level 70 with 252-258 rating, it should then be easier to do the same OP at level 75 with 292 rating. That is logical, but you guys have it completely reversed with this stupid level lock and scaling and sync and all the other crud that was recently put into place. I pay for four accounts for my family to play the game. None of us like the new system.
