    Why would they? So you can say they are wrong, even if they are right?

    As many people allready said:

    Didnt work in FFXI, not needed in FFXIV.

    If you feel like you want it, thats your personal opinion. You simply should accept that people are pissed, because Threads like this made SE adding that Crappy Level-Sync again. You are saying PL'ing is worse than Level Sync. Well its simple.. PL-System is allready in the Game and tons of people dont like it and want the old way back. So it is worse yes.. but Level Sync is also worse.. Why replace a crappy System with a "new" crappy System?

    You can say whatever you want.. Level Sync was, were and will be a System which will make People lazy and will take away any knowledge of how to play your Class, which you would get during a regular Experience-Grind-Party Curve. ( No.. not talking about PL ).

    But it's just not my opinion, there at least 46 other people who share the same opinion as me, and maybe even more that don't have the ability to post on these forums any longer.

    For as many people that are pissed that Level Sync is coming to FFXIV (not soon enough in my opinion) there are jsut as many that are pissed it wasn't included or not here currently.

    If I recall correctly when XIV launched the level spread didn't matter. a rank 1 could party with a rank 50 and still level up.

    When they changed from skill ups on actions to set skill ups they imposed at level restriction for XP bonuses but still allowed a rank 50 to play with a rank 1. Then when they changed from skill points to exp points, they imposed a level difference of +10 to stop the rampant in PT PL that took place.

    So it seems that the original intent was for all players to play together, but that got lost in the suffle, over looked or just plain neglected. Most likely they coulnd't figure out how to make it work with the way the servers opperate. Yet it is still a much asked for system, that is optional on a per player basis.

    How does it effect you, if you decide that you don't want to take part in a level sync? It doesn't You have other options available. You can go solo, you can go PL, you can go normal grind.

    But not having it leaves less options for players who would like to help out lower levels when all they have is higher levels.

    There will be always People with different opinions. Both sides will always have their points, but in the end it shouldnt break the Gamebalance, which Levelsync will do.

    It did affect the gained SP. And that is the way it should be. After launch the gained SP was really messed up and it got fixed a while later. But the PL-System ( which i also dont like ) broke the Balancing imo and made it extremly fast to rank from 1 to 50. Yoshi said 1-3 Month would be ok, but it ended up in 1-3 Weeks.

    You dont realize, that Levelsync will cause a lot of Problems. How does it effect me? Simple said: As soon as i will look for a Party, i will have to deal with People which will stay in lowlevel Places. ( Like it was in FFXI ). Even if you say i can "avoid" that, it is simply effecting me in looking for a "normal" grind Party, which will go out into Highlevel Places. ( Like it was in FFXI ). I NEVER had XP-Parties in Xarca/Glacier/Bibiki/KRT and so on after Levelsync took Place, just because people went lazy and stayed at Quifim/Jungle. They didnt learn to play their Job, they didnt had full ranked Skills, since they were synced down. So it happend that you had People with Level75 Jobs, who didnt have a fucking clue what to do and were totally useless in Endgame, since the Skills werent maxed out. ( My Spells dont stick ?!?!??!? Go get Skillups, damn it !!!!!! )

    Help out lower levels is the only Reason i always hear and maybe could understand, but basically the PL-System ( even if i dont like it ), is actually doing exactly that. We also had PL's in Valkurm Dunes and it was fine for everyone.
