Widen the ranks of people who can play together without hurting SP

And honestly, adjusting the range would only make the game easier to rank up. The game already hands you ranks and levels for free and it doesn't need to be any easier

Who cares. If I cant play with the people I want to play with at some point im not going to play. I dont worry about E-peen. I dont care if every person in the game has 10 50s. I just wanna play with people I like playing with without killing the SP. Remove the fun barrier please.

No it doesn't I can one shot sheep near Bloodshore on my R50 Archer and my R1 friend will get 400+ SP so power levelling is very much alive in FFXIV, up until about R23 anyway.

Except that the problem with that is that SP is so jacked up below rank 20 that they could get 400+ sp from fighting beetles. I've seen 4k sp from one mob in a battlewarden at r1. It has nothing to do with powerleveling

Well I don't know about that as it has been a very long time since I had anything under R25 so if thats the case then SE need to really look into that. I was aware they made it easier to get to R23 but I didn't realise they gave it such a huge boost.

It is horribly bad. People level so fast now. I had a r2 join my LS two weeks ago and he is in the mid 40s. He doesn't know half of the spells and doesn't know the basics of the game. SP gain is crazy high already. Increasing the range of SP gain in parties would make this matter tragically worse.

We have like 20-30k active players now the game needs to be more fun not less fun. People quit all the time because they arent having fun. Remove the fun barriers. Widen the ranks and remove surplus today!

I agree with this, level sync is not needed until the game is very old (like 8 years old).

Here's 3375 SP off leve linking the starter mission level quest once:

Leveling 1-23 is waaay too fast, it's stupid. I went 1-5 off 1 mob, then 1-10 off the next level, dinging 10 in less than 5 mins. This needs adjusted, so does everything related to the exp/mob difficulty/leveling system though.

This is hardly a fun barrier, although there are plenty in this game. I doubt your wish will come true but I'm sure you'll have plenty of chance to play with your friends.
