Let me try to explain this again.

Power leveling is the fastest way to level... period (*until 35-40ish). It's faster than a full party, and if you don't have a full party and you're trying to party it's even slower.

I was mearly pointing out not just for yourself, but other anti-level sync minded people; that part of their reasoning (player won't learn their class) is invaled. Why? Because being power leveled completely circumvents any aspect of "training" one would recieve by actively taking part in the game.
My claim was it takes about an hour or less to learn your class (at max level) if you know how to read. I didn't say anything about gaining more or less "training" by using PL or partying.

No one learns all the ins and outs of there class by leveling, you learn it during 'hard' fights / end game. Again, my point is the game is so easy that saying "you don't learn your class" is just absurd because of how easy it is to learn.

That being able to level sync doesn't make gaining exp any easier than being power leveled. That the time it takes to reach level 50 is calculated, that the rate of gain in a sync pt would be comperable to the rate of gain in a normal PT.
This is confusing... sync is just making everyone the same level? So how would you gain more exp in a sync party than a normal party? I never said anything that resembles this statement at all.

You would have a faster rate of exp gain in a power level party, that is my point. As a level 50 why would I bother to lower my level to party with an LS mate, when I can spend 1/3 of the time to PL him?

Now, is it illogical to think that maybe a group of people would like to forego the "power level" path, and experience game play the way it is supposed to be? Unfortunatly they have these barriers called "LEVEL DIFFERENCE" keeping that group from doing so. Wouldn't it be nice to have an option to remove that barrier temporarily to broaden the oppertunities players can have with their leveling style?
My overall point is that people will take the easiest route to achieve goals. There might be some who are so opposed to PL that they won't participate in it.
If you're level 50 what's in it for you to join a level sync party? You won't gain exp, and Spirit bonding will take longer because of the lower exp gain.
If there is someone level 40, they can join a party and get 50 in 3 hours - why would they join a lower level sync party? If someone is level 20, would they prefer to spend a few hours at each level or having someone PL them to 35 in a few hours total?

*So, read this, then learn how to use the word "logic" correctly. Then reply to this post.
Logic, sir. Logic.

Level Sync does have it's advantages, but it's not necessary for the game now. I believe they already said 2.0 for it's release. Who's going to bother with level sync when they can get PL'd a lot faster (referring to my very first post).

People will take the easiest path to achieve goals!

1st choice) Look for PL
2nd choice) Look for level sync party
3rd choice) Do leves / grind
4th choice) Do quests
