I don't actually know if some type of level syncing has been used in other MMOs (I only played FFXI for 5 years and have never played WoW etc), but just because it is from FFXI doesn't mean that it may not work well in FFXIV.
People want jumping and immediately there was a tidal wave of "Get back to WoW then!" kind of comments. Isn't the point that players will always want aspects taken from other games that they felt worked well and introduced into something like FFXIV, which needs improving?
No this isn't FFXI I totally agree, but if the development team brought over some aspects that worked well from FFXI, WoW or whatever other MMO to help make this game better, I wouldn't care less where it came from personally.

I don't actually see the harm to have a form of level syncing in FFXIV because we don't have skill points for weapons or abilities that we have to cap.
A level syncing function could actually really help in some areas. For example my boyfriend is currently leveling ARC. My THM is already 50 and my CON is 47, but he is only 38, so I cannot party (duo) with him. For the Toto-Rak dungeon a lot of our LS members have been playing since launch (like myself) and so do not have many/or even any rank appropriate classes to take in for an authentic run ~rank 25.
