Level Sync needed ASAP!

[OJtheLIONKing]

Please bring in Level Sync. As it is, I have trouble staying motivated to play because all of my ls members are already all lvl50s except for my best friend, who isn't on to play that often. I could party and legitimately level up with level sync, or I could get PL. Or, as some people are suggesting (incorrectly), I could slog through it solo, trying fruitlessly to piece together parties, and stop playing because the game has become boring. It may violate this weird idea that a game should be hard work (I thought a game was supposed to be fun?), but level sync is a good way to promote camradery while reducing the problems of level disparity in the game.

It didn't ruin FFXI, despite what some people here seem to think--in fact, I was only able to level some of my less attended jobs in FFXI when level sync was introduced, although fields of valor somewhat alleviated that as well, not to mention it's a feature in other games such as City of Villains and they weren't ruined for it. I hope SE ignores the, for lack of a better term, grind hogs that want to make everything drag out into forever out of a misplaced attempt to regain the nostalgia of FFXI and makes a game that maintains a good pace, so the game is competitive in a modern marketplace.

Quoted for stupidty. In a 3 day weekend I can get any class from 0-50, with no problems. Grind hogs? Really?

If everyone that took the time to post so passionately about level sync would spend some of this time leveling, you would be that much closer to all 50's.

Try leveling your post count less and your character more.

The only thing I would even remotely agree with is if 50's could be capped to join lower levels. Giving new players free 50's ill fight to the bitter end.

I'd take level sync anyday over a PL party where you are instructed to not participate. >< Please add Level Sync, it can't ruin something that is already messed up by player attitude. I spend most of my time playing solo because of this, I don't want to stand in a corner, its not fun, I want to participate and earn my experience by what I've done, not because a 50 came in and did it for me. Pet peeve gets inflamed listening to people ask for a PL for their level 10 & 20 classes, but to each their own I guess... ><

Please add Level Sync and give us an option to allow us to actually participate with our high level friends. I don't want to just arrive at 50, I want to enjoy the challenges that brought me there.

I'm shocked Level Sync wasn't made a top priority along with the battle reforms.

For the sake of new players, returning players, and current players with classes below rank 40, get level sync into the game ASAP!

It is so discouraging when someone in LS says "anyone with a level 25-32 want to form a PT?" and all the replies are "sorry, nothing below level 40" "Would love to but everything is at 50"

Allow us to play with our fellow gamers!

I want to invite my friend to join XIV, but I know he'll be largely on his own til he hits level 40, or unless he gets PL's (but that not playing the game).

Level Sync in Ver 2.0 is too late. We needed this YESTERDAY!

You can solo Lv.1 - Lv.50 in this game. Level Sync should never be implemented.

Why? Just because you can solo doesn't mean there shouldn't be an option to level sync with your friends in an actual party. This is an MMO... some want to be social and not have to be power leveled just to "catch up", only so that we can be just as bored as all the other level 50's. The fun is in the journey. Level-Sync should be an option.

What about for those who bought this game to play with other people and not solo 1-50?

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.

What if you don't want to PL and Johnny doesn't want to be PL'd but Johnny would rather learn how to fight equal level mobs with a group of people and the higher level person wants to re-experience content.

Level sync only provides more opportunities for people to play on an even playing field with each other. For those that don't want to use it, that's fine, you wouldn't be forced into using it. For those that want to use it to grind the same mob from 1-50, fine, let them. For those that want to be PL'd from 1-50 and never go into active mode or cast a single spell, fine, their loss.

No one is forcing people to level sync but people who are just starting the game are being forced to solo if they want to make progress in an MMO. I think people should have a variety of ways to experience the game's content and to actively bar them from enjoying it legitimately and forcing them to get a PL or solo is just bad design philosophy. Level sync would fix that.

I can actually understand those who are against level sync because of the possibility of exploiting the system. I don't agree with them but I can understand where they're coming from, but to honestly recommend that a person get a PL instead of legitimately partying with a group at their own level is just downright willfully ignorant. If you speak out against level sync for the reason that it'd "be too easy to get to 50" you must call for all of the other things that allow for fast-paced no-effort leveling like the current claiming and experience system. Level sync, in this case, is by far the lesser of two evils and should have been included at launch.

Last time I checked, and I'm not entirely sure, but quite positive nonetheless, that in fact, FFXIV was supposed to be a multiplayer game.

Problem with new MMOs. Screw socializing and partying with people, why do that when you can SOLO?

I know this game was released incomplete, but considering the sheer magnitude to which Level-Sync improved XI this should have been in the game from Day One.
