    All in all the guy was just saying he wants to play with his friends and that lower levels get left behind which is already coming to be a reality, people selectively vet the people they're recruiting so that they're high levels.
    All in all I DID say they could make it an option to party synch... Chaining mobs is rough with 4-5 groups out there tagging and killing before you can get a shot in. Personally, I liked the way I leveled but it's not to everyone's taste. I don't know if they can ever make us all happy right? Now since my Bard and job Smn are done/geared, I am running with high levels in the train helping rez the lower dead and occasionally pop over when Paz is going to spawn.

You didn't actually address much of what he was talking about either, his issue is that low level players are getting left behind due to; A) Not being invited by high level ones which I've seen firsthand countless times and have even had to do for spawning Pazuzu and the sort, and B) The high level mobs that one shot lowbies who aren't good at stealth yet and who quite frankly shouldn't be in the area in the first place. You responded to that with how you joined train parties and even if one shot someone would come along and raise you, then topped it off with a non-choice of "Join the train or find another way" of which, due to current mechanics, there is no other way to gain exp without expending a ton more effort and time without also risking missing NM's.

    ALL IN ALL, rather than essentially telling him that you made it to Lv.20 in the train no problemo and he can/should too, maybe just support his idea of a party sync option and understand the difficulties he and all other lowbies are having. After making a party with 5 lowbies last night myself and taking them around to (and spawning quite easily at Lv.20) Sabo, Lord, Teles, and Emperor, I can tell you that they were pretty grateful and that not many people stop to help them out. But that's just my own first hand experience and anecdotal evidence only goes so far I suppose.

    All in all Ayirez, perhaps don't worry so much about his post and my choices which were presented with a synch option, but rather worry about your own and what makes you happy. I am sure if he has a comment he is quite capable of stating it.
