Also. If a player wants to lvl at a low level area to 50 let him do that, its no ones business what he does..
Again, you don't know this because you don't know how SE would implement it and, as a result, how the players would twist it around into some new "speed-leveling" system that has nothing to do with what it was intended for.

Level Sync in FFXI was intended to help people who were too far apart in level play together... friends, etc. That was the *idea*.

What it became was basically a game-changing system that turned the entire process of leveling - for pretty much everyone - on its head.

What's funny is, there are people in this thread saying "I only want to be able to level with my friend/sibling. As long as I can do that, I'm fine with any limitations".

The immediate response from others is "No! No limitations!" Can you guess what those people have in mind? I'd bet a week's pay it's "turning level sync into a new speed-leveling approach".

If SE implements sync in such a way that it truly benefits those who are merely looking to close the gap between themselves and friends, LS-mates and siblings who are too far apart in level... but no more... Then I see no problem with it.

If they implement it so openly that it's abused as it was in XI, all but killing high level parties in its wake... Then I say "hell no".
