As for your XP question, it depends on how they implement it. But if the point is to help other people, earn their gratitude, and feel good about it (as you say) ... then why does the XP matter?

And how do you know this? You know in FFXIV wearing a very high level gear on a low level Character will be like you not wearing anything at all. The penalty is very harsh. I haven't yet to experiment level synching in FFXI, but from what I heard when you sync down to low level you need proper equipment. If we are able to wear our high level gears when low level, doesn't that make us too powerful for the synching to be possible? I doubt they would do this since it defeat the purpose of level synching in the first place.

I think how they do the level synching is that they lower your level to match with the group, you need to carry the appropriate gears for your level. Also, your status will be nerf. Exp also earn will be very low to be worth it. So no level synching is a bad ideas. And no, the feeling is very different helping other and feel good about yourself because you are like everyone else in the group. You work hard but earn little exp in return that it is not worth it. There is nothing to feel good about yourself in this process.
