Level Sync needed ASAP!

[ssppiikkeeyy]

As soon as you give everyone free level 50's you create a whole new problem.

Content has to be dumbed down because you have these level 50's that have never played their class... didn't learn the in's and outs as they leveled and were just granted level 50.

You have a whole new influx of "noobs" that run to the forums to complain because moogle or ifrit is too hard....

The whole idea of level sync just caters to today's generation that wants everything now....

is nothing earned anymore?

yea y i think level sync would be better for this game gives u a chance to level up with other people instead of being pled so u dont learn anything. i think level sync will work out a lot better for everyone, most people dont want level sync because they think people will use it in some fashion to cheat xp or something like smn burns in ffxi, but there is the chance with level sync u will learn the job better than you will without.

i soloed 2 jobs to 30 and took for ever. if some1 offers to pl me now i will love it and accpet it now becuase u cant get partys, so peeps there no point banshing the dudes idea thinking its stupid or what ever level sync is badly needed now more than ever. unless there going to bring out somthing that can help people slow there jobs from 1 to 50.

i got a lot of mates who wanna come on this game to play it but i told them there wasting there time for they will not be able to level anything to 50 for at least a month without pling.

I'd just like a system in place so that when afew of my friends join at 2.0, I'll have be able to play with them with out rolling a new character... unless SE drops the character change and becomes like just about every other MMO out there, but what are the chances of that.

So... why not level the lv50 down to the lower level's range and continue as such. The higher level would be unable to use any abilities a character of the same low level could not use.

Now the lower level isn't tagging along with a high level group killing high level things he shouldn't see yet. BUT. He is now playing a friend who otherwise would had to use some boring trickery like PLing to play with him.

Yep, that's exactly what level sync allows.

I honestly feel level sync and anything that makes leveling easier or more friendly and automated brings the experience closer to a 'grind'. When you don't have to put effort and the rewards come easy, it just becomes a chore for you to zone out during. This is not the funnest time with your friends. When the reward is harder to get you are more aware and you'll remember the experience much better.

Also you can still level with friends without level sync.

No thanks, level sync is a miserable idea. An excuse for people who aren't willing to work for thier level. For some reason people group work in this game with not being fun.

<Jonnie> "Hey LS"
<random LS guy> "Yo Jonnie"
<Jonnie> "man, can't seem to find members to join a grind PT"
<jonnie> " Been trying for 3 days, solo'd my last 4 levels"
<random LS guy> "lol, what level are you grinding?"
<jonnie> "currently lv 29"
<random LS guy> "oh.... I can PL you if you want!?"
<jonnie> "YEAH! OK!"

And thats the story of how Jonnie learned to play XIV.

Wouldn't it have been better if "Random LS guy" was able to match "Jonnie's" level and play a normal style of exp grind rather than PL him? Isn't that working for your level? Isn't grouping and actively taking part in killing mobs more fun than goign AFK while a PL does all the work for you?

Where does Level Sync not fit in with "being able to grp to work for your level?"

How often do you see people in your LS ask "Looking for members for exp lv (anywhere from) 1-35" ?
And how often is their request answered with "sorry nothing in that range." "I've only lv 50's" "my lowest is lv 40 sorry"
Each and every single one of those replies is a lost oppertunity for those people to help out another person seeking to level.

In reality people looking for a grp lv 1-35ish and askign for members in LS chat doesn;t happen very often just for the fact that those levels are easy to PL and are often just PL'd.
So all you crying about "you'll never learn your class" where is your retort of that? AT least with level sync those people would have a chance to play the game instead of sit back and rake in free exp.

It's called switch to a class that's Jonnie's level. And "OH BUT I HAVE ALL LVL 50'S!", then go PL Jonnie and get over it.

People like you are ruining this Genre.

Jonnie: "Hey anyone want to party with me? You can level sync if you're higher! Or I'll level sync if you're lower!!!"
Random LS: "Don't bother level sync'ing it will be 10x faster to get a PL then just party from 40-50.."
Jonnie: "Oh, is it that much faster to PL!? I'd like to learn to play my class"
Random LS: "It is a lot faster to PL, and even if you get some people to join you'll need a full party 8/8 to get the fastest exp, else you might as well solo / do leves"
Random LS 2: "Yeah also, if you can read.. you can figure out how to play your class... or if you've ever played any MMO before. This game is incredibly easy and might need an hour of killing things at max level to figure out the class completely."
Jonnie: "Oh... well I'm 3/8 now for a party... anyone want to join?"
Random LS: "(Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass.) But let me know if you want a PL"


I can create examples with made up text too!

Bottom line.. level sync is coming.. but will it be used that often? Why bother doing level sync when PL would be much faster. "Learn to play the class"... I have to laugh at that response / argument or whatever you want to call it. This game is really, really, really, really, really easy. If you can read and understand whatever language the game is in, you can figure out how to play any class in less than an hour.

The saving grace would be a lot more players online, which won't happen until 2.0 - we hope. Once 2.0 rolls around and more players are online, new classes are released there will be more people leveling up. That's probably why Yoshi said it's coming for 2.0.
