Level Sync needed ASAP!

[Rhomagus]

Fail.

Level cap rises.

Still gonna camp stronghold?

Probably.

Issue remains.

Edit: My first post in this thread, and now my last.



I stand by that still.

Fail.

Level cap raises and new incentives to level in new areas would alleviate grinding strongholds.

Still having a healthy pool of players to choose from as a new player via level sync?

Yes.

Your "issue" is a non-issue. I don't remember having to stay at any camp longer than I had to. You're Qufim worm scenario doesn't apply to me and it doesn't apply to people that choose to want to level appropriately. For those that want to fight worms all day? Their loss not mine. It affects me in no way shape or form, nor does it affect you, especially in XIV.

The means to level are significantly more open and varied in XIV than they were in XI. This is an intentional mechanism put into XIV as a direct consequence of the restrictions that were prevalent in vanilla XI. Naoki Yoshida wants this game to be accessible and have a myriad set of options open to players old and new. Level sync gives incentive for experienced players to level with newer players while also giving new players a means to play the game with others without having to be forced to solo if they so choose.

But it will! Of course it will!!! You have a level 38 that you want to level with but nobody parties at that rank because they all synch down to fight crabs at gullperch, r12. Raptors don't give as much exp/hour.

No its not ideal and it might not happen for... a day? But it WILL happen. Then when you or I wish to party at 38 it'll effect us both! Why can't you see this?

What Level-synch is to FFXIV really, is much like Communism is to politics: Idealistic, actually sounds good in principle and is easily adopted. But what..? Wait... In practice..? No. Absolutely not. Not by a long shot.

We need to look at the real outcomes of this mechanic here and see that tbh it'll probably be you and these other guys back in here after its implimentation complaining about the very things you claim would never happen.

NB: Level cap rises and you don't even NEED level-synch, because we're all level 50?

But it won't! Of course it won't!!! Are you honestly suggesting that crabs give more exp/hr than raptors?

You're being an absolutist about a subject that isn't absolute. By nature you are making incorrect assumptions about a future which you cannot see. Why can't you see that you cannot see?

You're political metaphor not only doesn't apply, but is absolutely ridiculous. I don't need to go into political theory to describe how level sync would be beneficial for the populace of XIV. If you want to go into political theory in a different thread I'd be more than happy to. Despite that you're assumptions on politics come from your own very narrow viewpoint and context.

I don't complain about having more options open to progress my character. I guarantee you I won't be in here arguing against myself on that by my philosophical nature alone.

I honestly don't know what NB stands for, but once the level cap rises you'll have even more of a reason to have level sync from a new player perspective. The level disparity will become even greater then.
