This right here, or let SE keep the op in the original client while the rest of us play 2.0.

Petition: Please don't make petitions against things the devs never mentioned; if you disagree with player ideas, post your disagreements on the same thread.

Rok I am starting to think you are against any feature that would make this game actually fun to play. I am gonna ask a serious question.

Are you for real, or just a troll pulling ppls chains on this stuff. I mean no one is THAT hardcore man?

Dude...MMORPGS have existed without Level Sync, and with PLing, for DECADES! That is not hardcore at all, its normal. Level Sync is newschool thing, but hardly the norm.

This might be the first thing I agree with you on, but I don't see many other solutions to fix what level sync is trying to fix.

I'm starting to wonder, if level synch would really help :x. A lot of people I know hated leveling so re leveling a class with absolutely no benefit doesn't seem like it's cure the real problem which is, the game is very underpopulated and a strong majority already has all 50's cause of the level rush.

Will level synch help that dramatically? probably not, in the end your friends would just be pling you anyway, that is once you realize how slow the xp is :x.

And to further explain what I was talking about:

Level sync was introduced in FFXI to allow high level players to join up with their low level friends and play together without much hassle, and without the high level player 'ruining' the gaming experience of the low level player. The problem arose because veteran players found out that you can get "better" (it's arbitrary) exp by syncing to a low level than to go through the normal leveling process.

That, in my opinion, is damaging to the overall experience of the game. Even more damaging than making leveling from 1 to 50 a breeze (and about on the same level as having PLing be the norm).

Other MMOs have existed without level sync and never had the problem of high level player playing with low level friend because it was extremely easy to just start a new character with fresh stats and everything. In FFXI and FFXIV, if you've already taken all your classes to high levels (or even just the ones that you like to play), it becomes much harder to join your low level friend. That's why this is a problem in FFXI/FFXIV and not other MMOs.

LOL there isn't any Level sync!

There isn't, but the devs do read these forums and when a wanted feature is brought up often, they work that into their plans in some way.
