    Then my suggestion is allow higher level players to sync down to lower levels, but cripple their SP gain as though they were still their normal level. It's about playing with your friends, not about staying weak enough to grind uber xp off of dodos forever

    I don' think the problems you had in XI will transfer over as heavily in XIV for bad players leveling entirel in Qufim. In XI some jobs worked particularly well at some levels, BLm in Qufim is a great example, in XIV the SP is scalled slightly and there is more smaller groups running around. As it sands now, most people won'thave large pary xperience by 50 in either case, so it won't be a big deal. In XI you expected the perosn at 75 to have party experience, that expectation doesn't exist in XIV.

    Then again, we really dont have any skills we need to build up on besides weapon/crafting/gathering classes. The system currently present in FFXIV couldn't be any more perfect for a Level Sync feature than it already is. Also, since SE is built up on Hardcore-Casual Benefits, Level Sync can not possibly be a bad idea.

    Maybe a fix for this.
    Rank 10+ : -10%SP
    Rank 20+: -20%SP
    Rank 30+: -30%SP
    etc.

    Rank 50 would only be getting 1500SP a mob if synced to Rank 1 leves with full links and high difficulty. Before you say that Rank 50 is the cap, yes, I know it is, but there are more ranks yet to come.

    So you're ok with Rank 40+ players getting 1500+ SP for one hit kills?
    The only thing that would solve is if surplus actually drops to the red and you actually end up getting no SP... cause thats how fast people would be getting SP overall
    And when they take out surplus.... thats gonna be impractical and plain silly...

    There IS a difference in difficulty with an R40 fighting an R50+ mob than an R1 fighting an R10 mob

    lvl sync was added as there was not enough low lvl grouping. It made it so 10+ you can level with your high lvl friends. ffxi didn't get bad after this nor is it in easy mode. Sorry but some of you guys need to lay on the butter I thiink your head is stuck.

    I loved it cuz me and my then b/f cpuld lvl alot to gether.

    Just because a few ppl abused it don't mean it was bad.

    Get off what other ppl did and focus on yourself. Stop complaining about features just because you see very few abusers. The over exageration is beyond annoying.

    I think this game is all complained out. Start making discussions not complaints. And they are not the same.

    I am gonna have to agree with you on this one. Point is not enough people were xping at lower levels and you needed a group to level up especially if they added all these jobs and you want to level something new up yourself. You would be stuck with no pt for idk how long. Idk how well it would do in XIV but it wasnt a throw in the towel move by SE imo.

    I have never seen level sync, did quit FFXI before.

    But what ive heard from experienced FFXI veterans, it sucks.
    I hope they improve party-play and never add such crap like level-sync.

    Gameplay for the ones with less time to play because of Family and Work: Yes, please.
    Let Party-play be a no-brainer because of ppl who dont like to use their brain and want to hack&slay Rank 1 mobs all the way up to Rank cap: No, thanks.

    Im glad we dont have it here and i hope they never bring it to FFXIV.
    If you dont know what it is how can you say that?

    Read up on it.

    Those who dont want it are usually just jealous of those who had an "easy" levelling curve, or find that cuse someone hit 75 in qufim makes any difference than someone hitting it on colibri (Its just a different mob and ur just doign different skills.......... nothing else)

    Those who do want it realise the potentional to be able to level with friends without having to be forced onto specific jobs or waiting until they catch up or hoping they wait for you to catch up or being sad they cant level with friends as they not high enough.

    What about level sync exactly sucks that you are basing your opinion on?

    Its very clear that you never used XI's level sync, and as a FFXI vet, it was amazing... I don't know why your friends felt it to be so wrong, and I do know people who didn't care for it, so in that case I'd say, then don't use it. But others shouldn't be penalized because some people don't want it.

    In XI, you couldn't level sync until Level 10, it didn't go lower then that, and they could easily add some balance to it in FFXIV... Where as the SP calculations would be based off the sync, and then have some kind of deduction for being over the sync... So in the case of a rank 30 player syncing to a Rank 10 party, players who are Rank 10 get 100% sp/xp while players who are rank 30 get 50% Sp/XP... (Or some other numbers or math, etc, I'm just making up numbers as an example)

    In this case, everyone still gets sp/xp and can party, but the higher level players would get less... And less is better then nothing, as well as throwing off the sp/xp calcs for the lower ranking players.

    With some kind of penalty like this, everyone can group, get sp/xp and thus as players rank up they would naturally be encouraged to move to a new zone, to get the best sp/xp and not re-sync down to 10 again.

    Now also, since there might be some who don't know how this also works... You can't just set a level and sync down to it, you must have someone of that level in your party... As they level up the party's sync level goes up too... You can't sync down, unless you get someone who is the player who want to sync with... thus vets end up helping out new players, and people can play with each other however they choose.

    Right now, I never get to play my con with my friends because I'm 25 ranks higher then they are, so end on working on other classes that I don't have any interest in... :S
