    I feel like this is yet another instance where I must bring up City of Heroes/Villains. Even back then, there was a Sidekick System where lower levels could bring higher levels down to +1 so that they'd continue getting exp for mobs, and higher levels could bring lowbie characters up to -1 so they can contribute.

    We asked for something similar, and Yoshi apparently misunderstood the request BECAUSE HERE WE ARE! AGAIN!

    At the risk of sounding disrepectful or insulting, Yoshi, you baka!

    Sidekicking was one of the best things CoX ever implemented, and I played since the beginning. That game could get grindy as hell, too, but dang I miss it.

    Same. It was, at least, a more fun grind since it was faster paced than XI (at least when I played XI). It felt like we were DOING stuff rather than taking part in a war of attrition.

    Ironically, XI had a level sync system (actually to fix the problem of one person leveling and messing up everyone's EXP that XI had as well, if they wanted to copy the XI system almost 1:1 they did a pretty good job) and the guy who apparently designed it is actually on the XIV team. So it isn't like this is a foreign thing since the rest of the game has a syncing system.

    Yes, I heard vaguely they implemented that some time after I quit XI for CoX.
