Being wildly overleveled for MSQ feels really bad. Starting on a bonus XP server as a new player is one of the worst mistakes one can make in my opinion, unless you want to level every single job to 50 before Ultima Weapon for whatever reason. Being permanently 10 levels above MSQ during ARR just wasn't fun even with all the level syncs when I made a trial account play through it again some months back. And I even switched jobs halfway through.
