Level Sync needed ASAP!

[Katella_Avenlea]

I'd take level sync anyday over a PL party where you are instructed to not participate. >< Please add Level Sync, it can't ruin something that is already messed up by player attitude. I spend most of my time playing solo because of this, I don't want to stand in a corner, its not fun, I want to participate and earn my experience by what I've done, not because a 50 came in and did it for me. Pet peeve gets inflamed listening to people ask for a PL for their level 10 & 20 classes, but to each their own I guess... ><

Please add Level Sync and give us an option to allow us to actually participate with our high level friends. I don't want to just arrive at 50, I want to enjoy the challenges that brought me there.

No thanks, level sync is a miserable idea. An excuse for people who aren't willing to work for thier level. For some reason people group work in this game with not being fun.

<Jonnie> "Hey LS"
<random LS guy> "Yo Jonnie"
<Jonnie> "man, can't seem to find members to join a grind PT"
<jonnie> " Been trying for 3 days, solo'd my last 4 levels"
<random LS guy> "lol, what level are you grinding?"
<jonnie> "currently lv 29"
<random LS guy> "oh.... I can PL you if you want!?"
<jonnie> "YEAH! OK!"

And thats the story of how Jonnie learned to play XIV.

Wouldn't it have been better if "Random LS guy" was able to match "Jonnie's" level and play a normal style of exp grind rather than PL him? Isn't that working for your level? Isn't grouping and actively taking part in killing mobs more fun than goign AFK while a PL does all the work for you?

Where does Level Sync not fit in with "being able to grp to work for your level?"

How often do you see people in your LS ask "Looking for members for exp lv (anywhere from) 1-35" ?
And how often is their request answered with "sorry nothing in that range." "I've only lv 50's" "my lowest is lv 40 sorry"
Each and every single one of those replies is a lost oppertunity for those people to help out another person seeking to level.

In reality people looking for a grp lv 1-35ish and askign for members in LS chat doesn;t happen very often just for the fact that those levels are easy to PL and are often just PL'd.
So all you crying about "you'll never learn your class" where is your retort of that? AT least with level sync those people would have a chance to play the game instead of sit back and rake in free exp.

I'm shocked Level Sync wasn't made a top priority along with the battle reforms.

For the sake of new players, returning players, and current players with classes below rank 40, get level sync into the game ASAP!

It is so discouraging when someone in LS says "anyone with a level 25-32 want to form a PT?" and all the replies are "sorry, nothing below level 40" "Would love to but everything is at 50"

Allow us to play with our fellow gamers!

I want to invite my friend to join XIV, but I know he'll be largely on his own til he hits level 40, or unless he gets PL's (but that not playing the game).

Level Sync in Ver 2.0 is too late. We needed this YESTERDAY!

You can solo Lv.1 - Lv.50 in this game. Level Sync should never be implemented.

It's called switch to a class that's Jonnie's level. And "OH BUT I HAVE ALL LVL 50'S!", then go PL Jonnie and get over it.

You can solo Lv.1 - Lv.50 in this game. Level Sync should never be implemented.

Why? Just because you can solo doesn't mean there shouldn't be an option to level sync with your friends in an actual party. This is an MMO... some want to be social and not have to be power leveled just to "catch up", only so that we can be just as bored as all the other level 50's. The fun is in the journey. Level-Sync should be an option.

What about for those who bought this game to play with other people and not solo 1-50?

It's called switch to a class that's Jonnie's level. And "OH BUT I HAVE ALL LVL 50'S!", then go PL Jonnie and get over it.

What if you don't want to PL and Johnny doesn't want to be PL'd but Johnny would rather learn how to fight equal level mobs with a group of people and the higher level person wants to re-experience content.

Level sync only provides more opportunities for people to play on an even playing field with each other. For those that don't want to use it, that's fine, you wouldn't be forced into using it. For those that want to use it to grind the same mob from 1-50, fine, let them. For those that want to be PL'd from 1-50 and never go into active mode or cast a single spell, fine, their loss.

No one is forcing people to level sync but people who are just starting the game are being forced to solo if they want to make progress in an MMO. I think people should have a variety of ways to experience the game's content and to actively bar them from enjoying it legitimately and forcing them to get a PL or solo is just bad design philosophy. Level sync would fix that.

I can actually understand those who are against level sync because of the possibility of exploiting the system. I don't agree with them but I can understand where they're coming from, but to honestly recommend that a person get a PL instead of legitimately partying with a group at their own level is just downright willfully ignorant. If you speak out against level sync for the reason that it'd "be too easy to get to 50" you must call for all of the other things that allow for fast-paced no-effort leveling like the current claiming and experience system. Level sync, in this case, is by far the lesser of two evils and should have been included at launch.

I know this game was released incomplete, but considering the sheer magnitude to which Level-Sync improved XI this should have been in the game from Day One.

And "OH BUT I HAVE ALL LVL 50'S!", then go PL Jonnie and get over it.

People like you are ruining this Genre.

Last time I checked, and I'm not entirely sure, but quite positive nonetheless, that in fact, FFXIV was supposed to be a multiplayer game.

[FilthyDisco]

Level sync is not even needed. Especially after server merger comes into play. There is plenty of people to play with of all levels.
