Suggestion 3: Future-proof content by capping at least instanced fights and dungeons.

[Jinko]

Chains of Promathia called, and wanted to inform you that the larger population of the community in FFXI didn't enjoy or even bother with the majority of the level capped content in that expansion.

Personally I enjoyed doing CoP with the caps and stuff....however, after going through it in another game (XI), I can say I wouldn't appreciate seeing it here. I don't really wanna have to hoard tons of low level gear for jobs I may be needed on in said capped instances/missions/events/whatever.

After level sync you never had to worry about multiple sets of gear as they scaled when you entered a capped instance.

Thinking back on your comment I guess it would depend on whether capped content scaled back your level but your talking about a lot of development time for something that just isn't needed. I would totally go for it if say the focus of the game wasn't on high level content, but it is so seems like a waist to me.

I doubt it would require that much work to be honest, yes currently the game is end game heavy but that's not to say 2.0 will be, where such a system could be a nice addition.

I'm betting it would take a lot of development time and yoshi already stated he wanted to focus on high level content you can really see that when every patch makes it easier and faster to level up to cap.

Bumping this, because this would be a way to PLAY AND LEVEL WITH YOUR LOW LEVEL FRIENDS!

Jesus, you're obnoxious.

We have had community dev's say they are looking into adding level sync, capped content would be basically the same thing, placed as a restriction within a zone/dungeon.

[UmJammerSully]

YES PLEASE.

If it was up to me, all major quests, primals and raids would have a cap on them. Plowing through Thousand Maws, destroying L25 Ifrit and moseying through most of the job quests felt completely redundant. If the cap retains all the higher level abilities and just scales back the stats of the player and the stats on higher level gear then it's all good!
