[dev1026] Please reconsider level sync "Then allowing power leveling"

There you go

This says nothing about an XI style level sync.

Note the part that says:

system where it level syncs when entering a content,

Meaning like Toto-rak for example you may be able to level synch rather than powering through it on a 50, or it could mean an entirely new type of content which would allow for level sync (such as CoP) with special level sync gear you could obtain.

I personally think level sync is a terrible idea and ruins group leveling. Power leveling is a cop out, but it alone has never ruined grouping in an MMO.

So getting 8 people level 1 and one person then attack mobs all day and get them 30 within a few hours is ok too you then? btw the PL is doing all the killing in FFXIV vs in FFXI where they just heal the party i don't know i think this one does ruined grouping.

You really think that is going to be the norm any more than it was in XI though? I don't because it requires a power leveler willing to give their time to level a group about as fast as they could level themselves if they weren't so lazy (because there is a cap on the amount of XP they can get per kill). Especially after 30 power leveling will just be a hassle that most won't bother with I imagine.

I've played a lot of MMO's with grouping, I love grouping, and of all the things I've seen in MMO's that hurt grouping power leveling was never really one of them. Usually where the is a lot of power leveling going on in a game it is because the people being power leveled are unable to form a legit group.
