The only thing I can tell you, and I'm not really for or against level sync, but with XI, they introduced it because so many people had high level characters so new players were discouraged because they couldn't find parties....
In this, there aren't many players at the moment, and they expect (or at least are hoping) to receive many new players and returning old players in the coming months to a year.
With a flood of new players coming up through the ranks, I'd think SE would hold off on any type of level sync until there is a larger community and most players are at cap doing end game content, as that would create a need for level sync.
As it stands right now, the only argument against it, and perhaps the best and most irrefutable argument, is that it isn't needed right now, or at least isn't seen as a very high priority
If you want to play with a low level friend, SE really could just say "Create an alt... it's free right now anyway"
or rank up a new job...
No offense to anyone, but SE kind of doesn't have the resources or manpower to focus on you not being able to play with your friend who was on vacation.
the game is really way too unbalanced in almost every aspect to even think about level sync.... Battle is unbalanced, classes, skills, camps, SP, quests, guildleves....
the focus right now is structure and balance, and then we can focus on the extra...
