Seems like some people think you just flip a light switch and then we have Level-Sync. There are way to many things to look into to add it right now. Examples:
R50 Armor/Weapons - Stats Level Sync to R30? for example
R50 Skills - Way more effective at Optimal Rank than @ Lower than Optimal
Due to the balancing issues SE would have to work on ATM to add Level-Sync, I feel their time is better spent working on other "Content" to add Fun to the Game, rather than an easier way to level.
Because nothing is stopping anyone in this game from playing with their friends ATM, it only hinders the ability to level up effectively with "Friends" ATM whom are at a lower/higher Rank. There are other more important issue than this currently.
R50 Weapons and armour would scale exactly as they do now so that system is already in place, maybe they could lower the degrade though because you are actually Optimal Rank in reality so thats not a problem.

Skills should scale as they do now when they are used below optimal rank, can't have someone sync down to R30 but still have full use of R50 abilities that would be crazy, so thats not a problem.

Balance is a problem but if they implement it now they can ensure that all future content is already balanced with level sync in mind.

How does it make it easier to level??? People keep saying it but no one says how.

Yes the current system does hinder me from playing with my friends if we are 3xR30 and they are R46 and we do leves the SP gets completely killed which means it is pointless to do and puts a downer on things which makes it less fun and when I play a game I expect to have fun.

Yes there are other issue that need addressing first that goes without saying but I would still like them to at least consider Level Sync's implementation as soon as possible so they don't have to go back and rebalance x amount years worth of content if they leave it for a long time or do what they did in FFXI and not rebalance at all.
