Level Sync needed ASAP!

[Mychael]

Camps never changed due to level sync, they changed due to easier mobs of what ever level you currently were.

Remember before CoP, most exp camps involved killing crabs? Why because they didn't have a move that would 1 shot, or an AOE w/ high dmg. So as we leveled up we found higher level crabs.

I don't understand. You just made the point you tried to tell me I was wrong about. It's all about the TP moves--that's why you pick different kinds of mobs. People find the easiest mobs to level on. What Level sync does is remove the bolded part: "[...]easier mobs of what ever level you currently were." Post-level sync, it was just finding the easiest mobs regardless of level.

Level sync didn't kill zones or the leveling experience.

This is where you're mistaken, my friend. Ronfaure [S] would have replaced other 37~41ish camps without level sync, just as ToAU zones replaced other 60~75 zones. Because of level sync, Ronfaure [S] eliminated many parties in any traditional camp from 37 to 70, simply because the exp couldn't be beaten and/or a full party of players around that level couldn't be found.

Additionally, here's the problem with level sync for non-friends.

Seeking party 1-38:

MRD 12
GLA 30
CNJ 36
ARC 36
CNJ 38
THM 32
LNC 26
THM22

So what happens? If you want a d*mn party, you're going to party at level 12. Is that fair to everyone who's higher than 12?

I guarantee someone's going to say "If you don't want to level sync, you could just solo." So because you don't want to play at lv12 with broken, sync'd-down gear (or buy another gear set), you've got to slow your exp to, compared to a party, a crawl?

Or you could sync to 22, 26, 30 ect ect. Fill the rest up with 38+'s that would like xp or are willing to help. You don't have to hit up the lowest level person thats searchable.

It's about options.


If there are a few people in the high 20's low 30 range that need 3-4 more people to fill up a PT why shouldn't the people that are too high be able to join? There isn't a good reason for them not to. Only thing that keeps them apart is the barrier of the level gap.

You are suggesting Level Sync created that play style.

The problem wasn't inherent to level sync. The problem was with the player community seeking easiest XP and the developers failing to balance mob strengths. Like I said Level sync didn't create favorite camps. Players created favorite camps based on easiest mob per level range. Level sync followed in the path already carved.

This is where you're mistaken, my friend. Ronfaure [S] would have replaced other 37~41ish camps without level sync, just as ToAU zones replaced other 60~75 zones.

On my server (Diabolos > Siren) I never experienced people seeking strictly level sync PTs. I have seen lv 70 player join a Ronfaure [s] PT, not because they were seeking a sync PT, but because they want EXP, any which way they could get it.

I have never seen Ronfaure [S] sync PT {yes please} in a search comment.

I have seen:

{Level sync} 60+ ok
{level sync} 1-59 {no thanks}

in several search comments.

I have definitely seen

{East Ronfaure [S]} {Party} {Yes, please.}

in many seacoms.

I've seen

{Level Sync} 1-65 {No thanks.}
{East Ronfaure [S]} {All Right!}

even more.




And I think you overstated my accusation. I didn't say that level sync made that attitude appear. I suggested, as most people can agree, that many players seek the easiest exp. Knowing that, implementing Level Sync inevitably led to several popular zones becoming obselete not because better zones were implemented at that level but because better zones had already existed at other levels.
