Level Sync needed ASAP!

[Mychael]

But I believe it would be in SE's best interests to remove the level barrier that exists between all players. To foster a more supportive introduction to new or returning players. As well as promote a better server community.

And I think a good way to do that would be lower everyone's DoM/DoW to level 1 after 1.21 and let everyone learn again.

Note: There's a very good chance more classes will happen. This will most likely happen before 2.0. This will fix your problems up til 2.0. Level sync will happen at 2.0

I think I got side tracked into trying to sway opposing opinions to agree with my views of the possibilty of Level Sync in game sooner rather than 9 months from now.

Clearly no thought process is going to do that. (Thank you RemVye, reading your above post just made us all that much more stupid)

This thread is to bring light the obvious disparity in level ranges. Which I'm sure SE is very well aware of.
Knowing that Level Sync is in fact making it's way into FFXIV brings a feeling of hope for the future. My goal is to bring this to the forefront of SE's attention to let them know there is an eager player base that wants to be able to level with friends/family/or just plain new comers to the game. No matter what level range they are in. That we would like to be able to do this sooner rather than later.

If we must wait til ver 2.0 for this than so be it.

You're welcome, but you were stupid to begin with. You failed to comprehend what I wrote in the first place and nothing will change that.

Level sync is coming in 2.0.

lol you caught me between edits, I changed the last paragraph for more clearity.

p.s. regarding your above post about my job levels. yes I have 2 lv 39 DOW and 1 lv 48 DOM to level before All my classes are at 50. My scenario was to reflect a what if situation where I was on my conj (48) with nothing actively going on, and I saw a shout in Uldah, that a party needed a healer for a lv 35 party. If I were able to sync to their level it's would mutually benefit both myself and the party for me to join.
But I'm sure you were aware of that.

Bump for importance to immediate shortcomings of system mechanics.

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.

I said I would so I did.

Got some numbers from Nemi Chan first of all, and they go like this:

10,333 characters, 232 have 18 50s, 1675 have all Battleclasses to 50.

Lindblum has 182
Rabanastre 161
Selbina 149

Then PV responded saying he'd make a new little table to his census... can find that at this link:

http://xivpads.com/?-Census&Classes

I don't really care there have been a few pages since, I said i'd ask and now have.

EDIT: While it shows less people have all 50 battleclasses then I and others would have guessed, in a way it also shows that there is an even spread, within this random sample of OVER TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE, of people with classes at all ranks really. If people are finding it hard to party up with others its certainly not because there is nobody to level up with. Probably, I would speculate, because self-same people are declining invitations or opportuities due to wanting to rank up one job over another.

i.e: "Hmm, I have CON32, and the party there is looking for one... but I want to rank up GLA31 and so won't join today. Oh why Can't I find people to level with??"

Bring on the flaming idc. FFXIV doesn't need level synch any time soon. Shouldn't be introduced at all imo, and if it is, it should be after the level cap is at maximum. Only then will people genuinely start becoming stuck for others to play with. Too many negatives connected to a rediculously failable concept to even attempt to list them all here.

Regardless, if its due for v2.0, its due. Nothing anyone can do about it. Just hope and pray the Development team don't introduce it earlier.

Level-Sync is not just for XPing. It goes a very long way to extend the life of pre-end game content. Most people don't know this, but ToTo-Rak is actually very fun if you don't do it at level 50.

Not everyone wants to be walked through the game.

Ok, so get a group of level 25s? My statement remains the same even for this situation. There is STILL people out there who are level 25, and there is still people out there who want to run low level stuff.

id take that site with a grain of salt as far a using it for accurate statistic of players

only players who want to be on there or who have people tracking them use it, there are tons who are not on it at all

granted, alot of people with tons of 50s are on there, but those who dont have much of anything havent bothered at all to even get their character listed at all

[AndySolace]

Honestly my friend, while i see what you're saying, it actually lists a lot of unverified characters too. Pulls in stats from characters across the board.

Even then, if people that only want to show off their achievements have signed up, it would only indicate that more people DON'T have as many job levels (et al, but on topic) as listed. Weights the arguement even further towards there being no need to add level synch because there are plenty of people out there in any level range.

And btw, i'm sorry my post is actually kinda trollish >.>;;; Reading it back i've set my mind on changing it later, when I've the time. It is a subject I genuinely feel passionate about though - I remember how much of a wreck it has made other games and I don't want future content stiffled because of the imlications of level-synch.

all unverified means is they didnt sign up for the site
someone coulda just gone and glanced at their character once and itl show them, unverified

thats all that means

This is nothing to do with level synching, this is to do with level-capping instances.

Edit: Quoted wrong post; I agree with you FilthyDisco, however. My comment was a response to the post you were quoting.

@TheVedis: Means increases the sample pool, at least.
