So many pages to read... anyway, just got back to the game and I'm finding this 'sync' stuff a bunch of crap. It's a MMORPG, guys, that means you achieve the max level to do whatever you want (farm, solo low level content, just run around killing mobs in 1 hit, etc). 'Max level' is quite self-explanatory. Otherwise there would be no point at all in busting our Ss in leveling and gearing. Now we have a game in which our maxed toons are only maxed at the fleet or max level areas, and sorry, but that's dumb. And for the story-content-logic enthusiasts, imagine this: it's the real life, you born, went to school, got a degree, a masters, and so on, now you're a PhD at your field but every time you're with kids you temporarily forget all you now and studied to sync levels. Better, throw it in the SW universe: You're a f****** Jedi Master, but when you visit a Jedi training area, you become a weak Padawan again... Are you really defending this? There's no reality logic, no SW logic, no MMORPG logic. It's that simple.
