    Level Sync I can see alt exp as another option , I Love hate Level sync.

    It gets you lvl'd up but , then you pay for it in time spent having to go skill wepons or as a mage , oh Mother-moggle....

    !@#$%^& SKILL points SKILL POINTS SKILL POINTS , I'd even invest gil into it for a key item .

    10k sounds fair. for a MERIT like option to EARN SKILL POINTS on a job.

    Divine magic looking err lvl 5ish cause your always helping under lvl sync no problem dump some stored SKILL points earned under lvl sync and presto .

    I'd not mind lvling my My jobs for SKILL POINTS or Conquest points UP under lvl sync

    I tend to hold onto the storable arrmor sets. as they tend to be useful storing them and re-using for jobs ,

    That too may be an Idea under lvl sync being able to get from the books Conquest points up effect. (wont affect region points ) as the arrmor dose sell well for cash in a pinch.


    but SKILL points not being earnable under lvl sync bites. but making them storable like merits for working a job under lvl sync , and being able to dump into shorted skill areas within reason , like divine magic under 250 skill or etc 250 in a skill or less , unless all other skills are above 250 kinda deal works for me.

    I'm stuck at lvl 70 partly due to vl sync , MAAT Pitties non esp those that lack skills capped , else you be come MAAt's newest welcome mat .

    i've had to speend alot of extra time capping out skills that otherwise lvl'ed in normal groups would have been caped or far more nearly caped than i curently have granted was out of game for 2+ years


    But I can again agree. to get to lvl 90 i need a maat win , LS ppl pushing me to win yet newbies need help , I want to help but grrr Catch-22 Quandry , @ lvl 90 RDM i could help alot more..... but they need a few lvls or ...

    geting some SKILL POINTS i could dump into my Jobs sore spots or even other jobs IE kata or great katan skill of OMG /laugh roll /puke or etc would be useful too.

    as more jobs up , more i could help.

    This can be a problem in LSes when people ask me to help out with missions or quests that I have already done. When I play a game I play to have fun. I dont play to help others have fun. Then it becomes a work, sort of.

    So, what I would like implemented is a bonus for people whom has finished missions, quests etc and wants to help others finishing them. That "bonus" could be a great deal of EXP or Gil. Not just 500 exp, but maybe even 5 000 or 10 000 EXP depending on the difficulty of the missions/quests. Gil should also be an option, like in the Trial quests for when obtaining a Avatar.

    This way, it could actually be much easyer to get people to help you with missions and also people didnt have to feel like they "work" to help other^_- They would actually benefit from it.

    When Abyssea got introduced and I started EXPing there, people open chests of over 1k EXP, and the Bastion ond OPS give crazy EXP fast. I think that cos of this, it should be possible to get this kind of EXP as fast in the old areas also via missions/quest.

    The first time you finish these missions/quests, you usually get a good reward. (usually>_> Nation missions, I am talking to you *cough*. Gil is nice though^_-) But when you help out, u dont really get anything.

    Please SE, revamp!
    They did all that before with the CoP missions years ago, didn't work then.

    Oh, and karma, what goes around comes around. I wouldn't be too eager to help you-even with simply a slot to leech in an Aby party, even if I was your LS leader. Game's built around teamwork, sounds like you aren't.

    As a player who comes back to XI off and on, doesn't have everything completed, has no linkshell, and still wants to enjoy non-abyssea content I say yes, please give incentive to players to re-complete content. I'm so tired on not being able to complete missions/storylines/quests/etc because nobody is willing to help me. ; ;

    To put it into perspective, I just fought the original Shadow Lord, for the first time. (Solo) Yeah, that's how behind I am in this game.

    I mean, I see a lot of bad mouthing of the OP here, but in my experience the majority of the player base IS the OP. I've received genuine, selfless help from 1 player in my entire time playing XI and that was several years ago. Being in an LS generally doesn't make any difference either. Usually what happens when I join an LS is this: I help all the newbies complete the early stuff, then they drop off the face of Vana'diel before we can work together toward the stuff that I haven't done yet. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to paint myself as some sort of saint in a sea of devils. I would help the new players in order to get them to the point where we could then help each other to complete the content I've been stuck on for years. So, yes, there was incentive for me to help them. It just never worked out to where I'd see the fruits of my labor bloom. Meanwhile, the higher level players don't help me either because they are too busy with their endgame content and I find myself stuck in limbo indefinitely.

    I remember about 4 years ago having to pitch a fit at my then current LS because nobody would help me with the simple task of doing the Delkfutt tower 3-3 mission so that I could then solo Magicite (Go, Go RDM!) in order to ride airships. If I could have solo'd the tower, I would have as well. Links were kicking my butt at the top. Back then, level sync didn't exist and the prospect of trying to wait until I was higher level was daunting without airship access.

    The point is, that I'm not a player that's just looking for a handout. I do the dirty work when it is in my power to do it. But I mean, seriously, once I got someone to agree to help with the tower it took literally under an hour. Several months of asking for help in order to acquire less than an hour of someone's time which I had to guilt out of them. These kinds of situations put a new or slower player in a bad position. If they are anything like me, they hate asking for help, hate being helpless, but have absolutely no choice in the matter but to beg for help to advance in XI. Adding some sort of incentive for players to do these things again would greatly improve this situation for players like me.

    "/sigh factor" is when:
    - You are asked to set your HP when you already have your HP set the place you exit. O.o?
    - You need to repeat a quest a 100 times in order to cap your fame >_>

    If you want to take a look at an example of what happens when you get a reward for helping a friend on a mission you're already done, look no further than the three mini expansions.

    Personally I'd be for getting a large chunk of CP whenever I complete a big missions, even repeating it, along with maybe a bit of gil though even 5K gil would be in game terms a respectable amount but no where near the hour or so worth of running around most of the big missions take
