Level Sync=the Dunes till 75.
Level Sync=Ruined Exploration
Level Sync=Gimp Ass Players
Level Sync=The beginning of the end for XI
Abysea = the final nail in the coffin.

i like to explore in my MMO's and i like to do so with my friends....hence is my biggest complaint with XIV is its just so damed plain... there are no secrets to find, no mysterious switchs to press to get threw a locked door, no Bubbly Bernie's and no jewels slipping threw my fingers. thats what made XI so great was the tiny hidden stuff to do.

Level Sync and Abessya Destroyed all that, it turned a great game into a who can get to 95 the fastest grind fest.
