Good to see this topic got some life again. I, too, think Level Sync's pros far out-weigh the cons. Also, new players typically took a long time before they learned the effectiveness of lower level Level Sync camps. Typically people who knew about those camps already had 75+'s, or at least a higher level character. Yes, they would have lower skill levels when they got up, but you'll have bad players wherever you go. If they don't care enough about their job/class to keep skilled up, then they're just a bad player in general. Can't stop games from having bad players no matter what you do.

However, Level Sync did let me enjoy spending hundreds of hours playing with my friends on the job I wanted to play while they too were allowed. My PLD was already 75, but I was about to get merits by being able to spend time with my friends. How is that bad?
