Self-Induced Level Sync.

[Adventurer]

Why is there always at least one person who just wants to be argumentative? What HARM could this possibly do? And who said ANYTHING about BC's? This has nothing to do with BC's, only being able to level sync yourself to a desired level so that when you're farming seals, sparks or EXP you can do so by going to different areas, to change up the routine of it all. People do things around areas that have reasons to do them in, not just because it's "closer" to the content. Nothing is "Far away" in today's Vana'Diel. Also, many of us hate the idea of Monstrosity. I don't play FFXI to be one of the monsters on it and to level as one, I find that strangely out of place and boring, to those who do fine, but it's more of just a side quest sort of thing.

This would give a great way for people to get back in old areas and as I said, there should be Eminence objectives for different areas, encouraging people to spread out a bit more. I'm sorry, but I think the wide world of Vana'Diel would feel better if instead of having 500 people in Adoulin and 100 elsewhere it was spread out a bit more.

Hear, hear.

The harm? Considering with a system like this in place, you could literally level your character from 1-99 in one zone, it opens it up to botting. Also, even if someone legit leveled this way, they would be insanely underskilled and have to make up the time skilling up anyway. The one and only reason I would want a self imposed level sync would be to finally clear those RoE objectives since no one level syncs anymore.

one place where you could level up to 99 you say?... open to botting you say?... Insanely underskilled?... Why, you're right. That could never work.

**cough cough** Abyssea...

I didn't even consider that, I think you bring up a good point.

You have to reach lv30 before you can enter abyssea, so it's not quite the same- You can't even get 1-30 in one zone. I honestly wouldn't object to raising that limit though.
