I think people are getting ahead of themselves. This u[pcoming patch is bigger then we had so far. And the main focus of said patch is the fixing of the battle system. While in the next patch doing some refining.

We already got people complaining their ARCHERS will be close ragnged fist users.

My advice is stop thinking ahead in the most negative view and just wait.

Also a group never needed the same leves to begin with. People just assumed if they didn't have the same leves that it was... what was the term... leeching. When everyone got rewared no matter who leve it was with some gil etc. So you ruined leves yourselves thinking with that elitistidm mindset.

I like the changes, and yes they are going to add wait of parting with these leve changes. It may not be in this patch due to the battle reform is the main portion. Personally who cares...
no one talks in this game, i mainly grinded my gathering classes till i got tired of the silance. I'm playing WoW just to talk to ppl. Oh and no one bunny hops.
