    There's diminishing returns depending on the level difference (which is why it's encouraged low level players focus on popping NM's roughly their level, rather than boarding the train trying to spawn Hazmat, Fafnir, Lamashtu, etc). I can't confirm this, as it's just hearsay, but a friend of mine informed me he saw his brother only gain 400exp from a NM (gold rank, too). They were level 4, the NM level 15 (Simurgh, I think?).

    I'm pretty sure Party Level Sync was confirmed to be a thing to be in that Yoshi-P walk interview thing.

    My first Pazuzu kill (Or I should say leech) was at level 5, and I gained roughly 2k Xp. for the same playtime at lvl 4, i gained around 10k by killing Harpeia and Teles. So yes, the level difference makes leeching high level trains really not worhtwhile, unless you just love being able to AFK.

    Besides, while popping low level FATEs, you're also dropping a decent amount of crystals, on top of what you gain from the FATEs, while I've never dropped any crystal when my party killed monsters that ware far higher than my level.

    Or you want to play with people who aren't your level, since killing any mob except a NM is worth nothing if there's a level disparity. As one of the slowest levellers amongst my friends, my options are to do the train with them, or play without them.

    I was lucky to find 5 people with at most +/- 1 level from me, yes. Again, fingers crossed for a level sync soon.
