Where is my level sync

[SihrBahn]

Just NO because it ruined the exploration for me in XI. I just dont want to stay in the same camp for 30 levels FFS!
I started XI late, a year before XIV, and I never saw some of the areas because everyone was at Qufim.
As the game is with 5 areas, I wouldn't mind, but if they expand the world, no thanks I don't want to stay stranded.

AGAIN this is NOT the problem with Lv sync, but how they implemented it.
Why did qufim give good exp to HL players? (because mobs cap at 200exp a kill) Why weren't you exploring other areas or raising weapon skills? (because low Lv mobs arn't as hard to beat, low risk of death.)
(Also because they wanted a penalty that only KEEPs people at low Lv camps for some reason.)

here in XIV You can solo in any area you want practically, AND higher level areas reward you with better drops for money making.
You were forced to go where the group went in XI.
Here you would ONLY Lv sync, to be able to play with a friend.

Honestly, It's annoying to either be too high to help my friends, or be forced to not Lv a class i need abilities from, because I want to stay in their Lv range.

THIS IS NOT FFXI. Lv SYNC WILL NOT BE THE END OF THE WORLD.

Well then they should limit lvl sync to 2-4 member party. I don't want lvl sync don't think this game needs it. Ppl will abuse it like they do everything else. If you have a friend you want play with PL them till they are at lvl to party with you but this my opion.

Why the Hell do people want Level-sync?

You can rank from 1-50 in aprox 2 Weeks now. So why would you need it at all? It doesnt matter if you are Level1 or Level50, you will get tons of Exp if you go with a PL'Character to a certain Area. So the Sentence "I want to level with my friend", doesnt make sense anymore and just looks like a silly excuse to me.

How does it not make sense? I can't count how many times I have not been able to group with my friends in XIV because of level difference. The time it takes to level is irrelevant if you are sitting at 20 now and your friend is 40. Which scenario is better? Wait a few days to play with your friend or sync up and play together now? That doesn't make sense to you?

then you simply didnt Exp after 1.19 and/or dont understand the current Exp-system.

Like i said before, it doesnt matter which level you are. You can have Level50 People in your Party and you will still get tons of Exp on lower levels. And no.. Saying you are not able to play with your friends, while the current system allows it, doesnt make sense to me.

This statement tells me it is you who hasn't xp'd after 1.19 dropped.

Check my History and you will see i obviously did.

you mean 1.19a where being in a party with someone 11+ levels higher than you gives zero (0) XP

It doesn't make sense because you are one of those people who want to level up fast, and you don't mind the level differences between players.

A lot of us *DO* care about some toons being godlike or others being gimp. We like playing with similarly skilled and equipped toons. For us the game is a lot more fun like that.

Your statement above, that method of playing, is horribly boring for me and most people I play with.

A lot of us are not in a hurry to level and we dont' give a rats ass about leveling. We like adventuring and playing together.

My friend and I duo and leveling both of our toons to level 50 would ruin the game for us, so that's hardly a solution.

Its sad that in most MMOs now so many people only care about reaching max level and game designers push it so much. Its a really poor way to design and run a game.

I don't see any reason why we can't accomodate more than one game style.
