giantbane the aspect that whitch you described ffxi perfectly captures what ive been trying to get acros im not saying copy and paste but ffxiv is to casual and to easy i miss the fact that if you had a crap party you where screwed out of more then time i also miss the rewards that you would get if you put a exalent party together i personly joind like right after lvlsync was implamented or right befor been so long cant rember but i liked hearing my cusins storys where 6 friends would go from 10-75 by seting times to start party and everyone stoping when the party was done i wish they could kinda bring that aspect into 14 id even be ok with no lvlsync for thos partys i mean get a group of friends lvl said jobs to 50 together then gear them i mean there is a lill leanincy on lvl difrence 1 maby 2 lvls apart from the person that has the midle lvl is ok but no more i would say keeps people together forces them to learn job and lets you meet new people and get to know them cause your together for more then just the 1 party.personly when i played 11 i had no life i could spend close to 20 hours playing one party go to sleep wake up get back in party and then they would lvlsync back to me once a spot opend that is also a fact of which i miss altho the 20 hour days of playing are no more seeing as how i have to get a job
