A Simple Request from a old grizzled player.

I can't imagine why you'd want to level in the dunes unless you were at a level to EXP there. What makes the dunes any better than any other location? And I say this because if you actually are that level, we have the level sync feature already which will work for this situation.

As others noted, if you self capped to make some fight harder, you'd probably agitate other people who might need what you're doing and want to get it done quickly.

As I write this, I'm grinding for job points in a high level area, and the 'feel" is the same as killing things at any other level. So I guess I just don't understand the appeal of this.

I'm not sure how you're going to agitate anyone by fighting stuff in the dunes. I don't think a single group level syncing to Valkurm's level range would somehow manage to monopolize the damselfly worms and crab aprons (magicked skulls can be got in Gusgun), and even if they did, people who need them could simply join the group, sync, and gain exp while waiting for them to drop. Heck, even when I first started my character a couple weeks ago, I killed everything I could between Bastok and Valkurm, and by the time I got there, I'd already outleveled the early areas of the zone, so it's certainly not a vital place to level up either.

I personally wouldn't bother with this feature, but I can certainly understand the desire for the nostalgia, and it sounds like it would simply be a modification to the levelsync feature to allow a sync without a lower level party member.
