Level Sync needed ASAP!

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.

To Mychael:

You brought this upon yourself with your rhetorical tone by the way. I'd suggest you lighten up a bit. Just because someone disagrees with you on the internet doesn't mean you have to behave the way that you did and get all snarky with your rebuttals.

I will match your rhetorical tone.

I've stated many of my views and you've stated yours, and it's clear that all we're going to do is pick on little details of the others' arguments that hardly embody the points. Rather than waste everyone's time with another wall of text, I'm just gonna move on and focus on Ifrit. Besides, when people answer quotes inline, it's way too much effort to respond--especially without inserting a carriage return to break up your bits from mine. D=

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.

I disagree, it shouldn't be hard work, it should be fun. What better way to pass the time leveling, than leveling with friends?

That's part of the fun is working hard for your stuff.... I don't wanna get a new spell and not even get to use it....

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.

The way I read that, out of 10,304 characters, X amount of people have a given job at 50 (which says nothing about which of them are on the same characters), and 32,931 level 50s exist. I'm doing most of this math quickly, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

Out of those 32,931 jobs at fifty across 10,304 characters, 9,485 are DoL or DoH. So that leaves 23,446 level fifty DoW/DoM to be distributed among those 10,304 characters. Now, in the best case scenario, [I]each[i] person with a single level fifty has all jobs at level fifty. In this case, 3349 characters have all jobs at 50. That's 32.606% of characters. Not 90%. And I regret to inform you that there's a much more likely case in which those 23,446 level fifty jobs, rather than being hoarded by less than half of the characters, are being more-or-less evenly distributed, with 2~3 jobs at fifty.

To put that number in perspective, 29,260 Jobs under level 1-10 are recorded by this survey, though it's impossible to sort out DoM/DoW with the information collected. To be safe, I'll say that 3/4 of those jobs are DoL/DoH. That leaves 7,315 jobs 1-10. Each character of these 10,304, then, has a ~70% chance of having a job level 1-10, using my completely made-up 3/4 estimate. If you want to prove that more than 75% of those R1-10 jobs are crafting/gathering jobs, do your own census.

I'll tell you what, I'll ask the guy that made it later on. he'll clear it up.

Edit: Actually, i'll just ask him to see how many of those 10,000 characters have all DoW/DoM to 50. even easier.

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.

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.

[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.
