Where is my level sync

[Altano]

I gotta say, I am so happy level sync doesn't exist. XIV would simply benefit from some new DoW/M classes that would allow people to rank up something new with friends at a variety of levels. I feel that Level Sync was pretty much the point in time where SE started to throw in the towel on XI and turn it into full-on easy mode. And for what purpose? So that when you go to do some endgame activity or some intense co-op mission and you pick up a tank, you learn that he's only ever been synced to 30ish parties? Lovely. I'm not singling out tanks either...I've seen it with every role. Thanks, but I've seen enough of that from one game...

i understand your reasoning, but it doesn't apply the same way here, as on XI abilities were locked off when you synced downward so the tactics involving higher tier skills weren't explored the same.

in XIV, you can take a top tier skill and slot it on a fresh class, so it really doesn't make much of a difference aside from allowing friends and family to group together. With how easy it is to rank up now anyway, it's not that big an issue, and would fit well into current partying mechanics. Especially with the party recruitment feature being so weak and cumbersome.
