Please, no. Not that thread. ; ;

FFXIV is my second MMO, how Level Sync work?

Basically, you'd select one party member, and that would be the "maximum level" for your party. Anyone below that level was unaffected, but anyone higher than that player would become that player's level. Skills and base stats were lowered to match what they would be at that level, and gear was scaled "appropriately" (in quotes because higher-level gear that was scaled down was often useless, just like wearing Optimal Level:49 gear would be on a lower job in XIV). Go find Chief's thread if you want to see everyone's appraisal of the pros/cons, though. I don't want to hijack your thread here.

...It's a good system on paper, but in my experience abuse was just as common as use; also, XIV has other options for leveling besides standard parties--although they're slower, that does something to alleviate the need for Level Sync.

...crap, I said I wouldn't say anything.
