Level Sync needed ASAP!

[Nero]

Are you purposefully misquoting me with this here? I no where near said anything like that. nice try.

Nope, just fixed that Sentence for you.

If you want to turn this into a pissing match of opinions fine.

That is what you started with your first Post, so you are mad someone giving it back?

I never once was forced or was required to join a level sync PT to level or merit any of my several jobs in my 8+ years of FFXI.

Lucky you. Does that make it a fact that noone had to join those stupid Jungle/Quifim Parties? No, it doesnt.

Each and every time I joined any level sync PT as a job higher than the sync its self I did so voluntarily. Usually I joined not to advance myself, but to help advance LS mates who where otherwise having a difficult time leveling their jobs.

Lucky again. Since your first Post you are trying to make your personal opinion a simple Fact, but its not. So no matter how you trying to look at it, you wont change the fact that certain People dont like Level Sync. And according to that: No, Level Sync is not a "must have".

So for once I'm asking people to stop thinking about themselves and think about potential new or returning players who find such a disparity in level gap that they soon quit.

A Note to yourself? Seriously.. before you give an advice what other People should do, you seriously should do it yourself, no?

Would a system that allowed high level players to temporarily match their level to other players to help them level up fill that void? YES!

No. That is just your personal Opinion and like i said allready, it doesnt make it a fact.

From a game play stand point tell me what is the difference as a level 30 character joining a level 20 sync grp?

If you didnt learn this in your 8+ Years of FFXI, then you never understood Level Sync at all. A Level 30 Character wont have the posibility of using certain Abilities, since he is dowend to Level 20: Fact. So he wont know how to use certain Abilities in certain Situations until they appear and he have to relearn an allready leveld Job: Fact. Should i keep going?

You have less skills to choose from, but you get similar style play and actually actively take part in.

Which is limited, due the fact of Levelsyncing your Job down. If you are telling me you will learn the whole Class and it Skills while ranking it up to the Top in a lowlevelsync-Party, then you are blind.

Instead currently we have a system that encourages power leveling. Where players invite and kick a high level person, who then kills all the rounded up mobs. 1-7 people take absolutely no part in playing thsi game during that time. They level 1-35 this way in a lot of cases.

Guess why it took Place in this Game? NA-Forums were whining about how hard ranking is.

So tell me a system that encourages players to actually team up and level the way developers intended us to isn't needed.

Really i have to? The way it was before they added the "PL-System". Since then i never really had SP-Parties again, while i had tons of Parties before that.

Also enlighten me, on how level sync with XIV mob strength and EXP mechanics would force anyone thats under level 40 to join a sync style party?

We get a 10 level gap difference to obtain EXP.
Monster strength is balanced to level, not mob type.
There are in each camp location mobs that range from equal level to +9 meaning at a level 20 camp you can find mobs in groups from lv 20 - 29, at a lv 30 camp you'll find mobs lv 30-39 and so on and so on. There are no preferred leveling spots like in XI due to monster strength discrepancies.

Did you ever read Producer Letters or did read the Roadmap of V2?

So your turn. What do you propose to be done about the clear rift between current established players and new or returning players that may trickle in until ver 2.0 is released and then see a higher influx of players?

Change it back to how it was, before SE added the PL-System due all the whining Posts on the NA-Forums. Simple.

Last I looked we are playing a MMO. Not a single player game.

You never checked, huh? FFXIV is a Game which was intended to support Casual/Soloplayer.
