One moderately difficult full-sync requirement as in ACB and ACR is fine with me. It makes the game more interesting and challenging in a fun way. But AC3 really restricted player freedom with multiple full-sync objectives. So yeah, I'd be happy if they removed it.Also,  full-sync on naval missions was too damn hard  :/ :/  ( dunno if that's just for me )
