For the love of god - give us Level Sync

[Valmonte]

i'm fine with levelsync as long as the needed EXP to level and skills are caped @ levelsync level. also i've noticed that even if level sync was implemented the higher the level of mobs the better the experience. ive tested it myself a level 15 dodo even at player level 10 isn't going to give you more than 350exp a kill.

In spite of the fact that I completely disagree with you in this thread, my reasons for hanging about are exactly the same as yours. However, I notice you use the word 'sucks' not once, not twice, but a total of 3 times in your first paragraph as you described how you felt about the game. Yet, amazingly, you feel you have some place in advising me to "just quit the game since you don't like it!" - 100% Hypocritical.

You wanna know who's left playing this game after the exodus? Final Fantasy fans and dregs, those of whom do sometimes merge identities in your case. What I'm most offended by is your unfathomable expectation that I'd be offended by your nonsensical claims.

Lol, you read what you want to read don't you? I used the word sucks but I did not say that was my opinion of the game. I said people in general also I haven't directly pointed my finger at the you and told you to quit though you keep taking it that way. Though you are constantly whining and moaning I matter of factually said if all people are going to do is b!+ch and moan about the game they should follow my advice so the people like me (learn to read between the lines a little bit) who want to see the game succeed do not have to continue to read posts like this about people just crying over nothing. I did however say if you are taking offense to what I am saying it does apply to you, I pointed my finger at the people behind you but you assumed I was pointing at you. Tsk tsk tsk.

I agree to a soft cap but not a hard cap. Should never be like FFXI was an get only like 200 EXP a kill in which some cases you would get more but that was ridiculous. Certain level ranges should have different soft caps in place when level synced depending on how much exp it takes to level. 50+ should stay where it is, they made it clear many times over by saying they didn't want this MMO to be like other MMOs where all you do is grind to max level the whole time. I want it to take a short time to get max level and enjoy the end game content, though the game is far from finished still. It is starting to get there with the new dungeons and other content but it still has a ways to go.

The problem isn't level sync, it's just plain laziness. The reason why people resort to PLing is simply because they are too lazy to make a party.
It's the same thing that happened in FFXI - No leadership whatsoever.

People are scared to go on mooglebox, use the mob location tool, find out where to PT, shout in Ul'dah for 4~8 (Yeah, newsflash, you don't need more than 4 to actually progress in this game. Light Party, heard of it ?) Instead of resorting to PL even though you hate it.

Come on, it's not too hard is it? If I can do it, I'm sure you can too.

Edit: Oh, and with server merges right around the corner I'm sure there will be way more players to play with anyhow.

It sure isn't lazy, I have shouted, I have tried to make parties and still had no luck.

Sure light parties work, but when you are all melee and have no healer you aren't going to get very far are you ?

People keep mentioning server merge as if its going to fix everything, well "news flash" its not.. many of the people we will be merging with will already have multiple if not all 50s, the rest will just exacerbate the power-levelling issue even more.

More people = more power-levelling.

not sure why people think lvl sync can combat PL. If you are in a party and your lvls are synced as soon as that person drops the lvl will go back up to what it was.

[Zantetsuken]

I'm as ambivalent on Power Leveling as I am on Level Syncing.

What I don't understand is people who say that PL is the only way to level because they can't get a party.

This is flat-out absurd on it's face because FFXIV has built-in solo-friendly leveling system in Guildleves (remember those?). Whenever I can't get a party, I just go out and do Leves, and though the exp isn't quite as fast, it's still very good and will get you to endgame at a decent pace.

People need to stop using PLing as a benchmark for how fast they should be leveling and they'll be fine.. not only that, but they'll enjoy the game more as well.

In XI there was a cool off period, where you stayed at the level sync for like 60 second.

Plus after the level sync buff wears off you would need to get HP and MP back up so PL wouldn't work so well in that situation.

In FFXI level-sync let me party with my friends with no worry about our level gap and letting us use the jobs
that we wanted to use. That is all I cared for.

For me that option being available is most important.

Ah, forget it. Shut up, Dargoth.

This single point outweights any con someone can bring to the table.

Because there isn't always someone to PL you or perhaps you just want to EXP in normal party for a change? There is a whole thread of people here complaining about PL and wanting to party so how will it combat it? It doesn't have too. There will be people who level through PL and there will be people who level solo and with normal groups.

Ah, forget it. Shut up, Dargoth.

Pwned.

I couldn't resist. At least we now agree to disagree.
