it would take them ages to figure out how to PROPERLY do level sync. With gear damage and the whole being able to wear mostly anything and custom stats, it would be a nightmare to balance for them. It was just pretty easy in FFXI when all of those things were static.

If any game needs it...this game does, the servers arent very full and most people are pretty anti-social outside of LSs (for many reasons) so you jind of have to play with friends or solo all the time.
