Can I have level sync?
But please exclude usage in future raid content, low end quest dungeons sure, raids should stay for max levels etc.
Please?

no thanks, I'm fine with lowering the level to the level requirement in the dungeon. Like level 50 going in a level 30 raid turns him into a level 30. That is fine, and you can get your leveling inside the dungeon as well!

NO to Level Sync...
In FFXI you did not have a viable way to exp outside a party...if FFXIV you do. You can solo leves for VERY good exp/rewards per hour.
Level sync just messes up the partying process by:
1. Eating up beginner party camps by allowing people to stay in the same spot WAY longer than they naturally should. All the party needs to do is keep inviting someone who is that rank for that camp and syncing to there level.
2. Doesn't allow people to progress in their class and learn the job/class naturally. Nor do they start using/equiping their abilities as the level since they can't use them.. if you think powerleveling creates poor players this just kicks it up a notch.
3. Makes buying better gear as you rank completely null and void. This already is happening to some extent now with how quickly people can level but it would just become crazy if syncing happened
4. Exp is currently stupid-easy to get. Quite frankly, if you are not smart enough to figure out how to do it, maybe you shouldn't be playing. (Leves 40+ you get 10K+ each leve complete...and in a SB/exp rank 45+ party you can get ranks 45-50 in under 2 hours...which I think is appalling but that's a whole different issue. )
5. Puts WHM's/Healers in a 'Premium Position' again where they can charge rates, or get bullied into constantly helping Level-sync parties. Most people who want level sync atm want it because 'healers are hard to find'. This is not due to the exp system but poor class/job balancing. SE already stated that the next class set to come out will include another Mage Class...this might help to alleviate some of the sh/ level 35-40 exp group 7/8 need Healer shouts you see in town.
A compromise could be something like the sprout cap in ffxi. It was a rare/ex item you got if you used a buddy pass/bought a world pass for a friend to play with you. If both of you put it on, it would drop you to the level of the new person for 30 minutes (you could re-equip and do again as often as you liked). This allowed you to party together and help your friend. This is maybe the only time I think level-sync is okay...when you are trying to help friends. And I'm sure they could create and item/quest that gave an item that allowed you to help ls mates/friends list people etc. But a blanket Level-sync NO THANKS.
Battle leves=level sync...use them. -

Just to let you know, this has already been confirmed to be coming. :)
Also, there are many topics on level sync, we don't need another, you can join in on any of the other topics as needed. :)

I'm not sure why people are so against the idea. It can only serve to enhance the experience of newer players - something of a rarity these days. If we want the game to succeed we need to be open to ideas that allow them to socialize while doing what we already have.
If the end result is that they play like crap that's their problem and the problem of whatever shell adopts them without vetting them.
It would also be nice to interactively spend time with friends outside of PL'ing them when they first join. -
04-12-2012, 05:30 AMRokienpeople now hardly help out with previous content like AF.Quote:

People already don't like leveling(grinding) why would they do it a second time if they don't have to?
Just add few new classes, that will fix your issue of "helping" new players out on leveling. -
04-12-2012, 05:34 AMYvesThat sucks, man - glad I'm not on your server. It's not uncommon to see people jumping in to help fill two spots to lend a hand for AF. And, in the rare event that someone in our shell needs to grind I'd rather sync down and play with them as opposed to PL'ing via drop method.Quote:

04-12-2012, 05:35 AMZumiLevel sync isn't for level 50s helping out lower level people. Its mainly used for people leveling so people who are higher lvl can group together with lower level people and still get exp.Quote:

04-12-2012, 06:10 AMSionDurantYeah, I mean that sounds cool but I don't really think its appropriate for a new game. Level sync was more reasonable.Quote:
