There is no reason why Level Sync shouldn't be in the game. NONE!

If you're worried about the abuses of PL, make it so if a higher level kills a mob the exp is:
1) not gained
or
2) greatly reduced.

If you're worried about parties getting griefed by high level players killing mobs belonging to a lower level party, change the claim system so only cliamed mobs are attackable by the party that has claim.

^ this system already exists in the game when you fight a NM. Just make it standard.

If Yoshi P was true to his word about wanting high level players to be able to play and help lower leveled characters, Level Sync should be a top priority. Not the ability to power level lowbies 1-35+
Level sync is fine and all and it is brought to their attention and it's being worked on blah blah blah. I just don't see the need for this thread. Are you just scolding the development team? Cause while level sync is all well and good... you don't know the technical aspect of it and how it will work with this client vs the 2.0 client, UI updates, ect. Maybe it has to wait.

All the whining in the world cannot change what cannot be fixed with this client. If it can, we'll never know anyway.
