For the love of god - give us Level Sync

[Lux_Rayna]

Level sync is pointless, who is going to waste their time lvling a class they already lvled when it is 100x faster to just PL you. Nobody, unless they were extremely extremely bored. Level sync won't fix the problem, because no one is going to want to do it. You really think i'd give up an ifrit/moogle/AV/CC party to go grind from 20-30 all over again? No. Ppl got crafting jobs to level, gather jobs to level, mats to farm, gear to make, gear to get, gilz to make; that leaves very little time to re-grind all over again, unless you are really that incredibly bored. And at that point, might as well reroll another character.


As far as this PLing business goes, there's more to the game than just grinding. So what if PL gets you to 50? There's so much more to do after that, it doesn't really matter. Ppl act like the only reason to play an MMO is to level. If thats your reason, fine, but don't act like PLing somehow ruins the game. It made the game quite fun for me, and Ive been able to learn my class, spam dungeons, spam primals at will while avoiding the painful solo grind. It hardly ruins the game.

@OP: My suggestion is to find a lvling partner. If you shout enough in uldah, or ask enough ppl in different LSes..you'll find someone to duo with. You don't need a full party to grind, you can go 1-50 quite quickly if you find someone to regularly play with. Just one..heck even make a forum post.

And this is why MMOs are dying.

Im willing to help, its fun partying. And spiritbonding can be a purpose.

It's not viable to powerlevel after a certain point, level 43-45 mobs hits too hard to chains them all together unless you are a MRD perhaps.

Besides I sometimes wonder if Yoshi-p being ok with powerlevelling is more an issue of leave it as it is because they don't' have the time to fix it.

A lot of higher level players would be intersted in level sync because it would still allow them to spiritbond.

Did you read my post ? I already said I have someone to duo with but I'm not interested in monotonously slow XP with two people, I want a full party like the old days.

I do agree with you that end game is much more interesting than the leveling process , that's a different thing though, my issue is that I can shout for hours in U'l'dah, I can put myself up for seeking a party and still not find a party.

Powerlevelling is a massive problem, no other game has this problem, not even WoW with its hyper fast leveling, although I hear you can get your character auto'd to 85 now, how sad it is when players want to be handed everything like that.

Me... I would totally level sync with people, and I know at least a dozen more who would as well. I've actually left PL parties because it IS NOT FUN! I play to have fun, I play to be social and play with my friends, and I would love the option to play with them on classes/jobs that are needed for that run. The fun of the game is actually in the journey and the experiences you have along the way. It doesn't seem like a waste of time to me. Helping friends learn to actually play their job in a party situation rather than have them stand in the corner seems more like helping them to me.

... but to each their own.

My point is just that, just because you wouldn't be willing to spend some time with a friend and level at their level and help them actually learn how to play through playing, doesn't mean that everyone is that way. It should be an option for those who don't want to mindlessly level without actually playing.
