They both quit again after a week of playing because neither could find anyone in the low level ranges to form a party anymore. Sort of a product of low server population in addition to everyone being max level in basically everything by this point in time.

So far, everytime I got to party on my lower level range classes I seem t ofind groups in reasonable amounts of time.

I am against level syncs. Especially when its so easy to PL. Both of which I am against, personally.
It's Kio's scenario thats exactly what I'm talking about. These players arrive or return to a environment where they are the odd man out. They then leave soon there after because they just can't stomach leveling any of thier classes which are low level due to such a shallow selection of other players of a similar level.

Coglin, you might be correct that most people don't have everything @ 50. I don't. I still have Mar @ 37 Pug 39 and Conj 47.
I have a few LS mates that have a few class scattered around in the 20's a few in the 30's level range. But this is the kicker; Most of the levels are out of PT range so between 6 people we might have something like this:
lv 19 24 29 32 33 37.
Under XIV rules you could take the 19-29 and make a PT (hope the 29 doesn't level before the 19!) then the 32-37 people could form up and EXP.

But Wouldn't it be nice if you could just all sync to 19 and play together? Isn't that what community is about?

This is a game, We are meant to have fun and play together.

between the low populations and the disparity in level ranges it keeps people divided for too long of a time.

Level Sync is a good system to unite the player base.
