Where is my level sync

[zaviermhigo]

Even now people in 40s are rarer than 50s or 30s, so it would be easier to sync to those people.

Level sync was a great idea in FFXI but as the game was not made with it in mind from the start it did cause some problems. If SE add it now to FFXIV then they can ensure that the game is built with it in mind to make sure those issues don't happen.

The thing that bugs me is people dont want level sync because they dont want other players to use it

That's not how I feel at all. Level sync encourages players to only party in certain zones where sp is best, and that does effect me because it means if the best xp you can get turns out to be somewhere bland, that means I may be leveling in that bland area 20-50 or whatever level you start in the area. Then by making the choice to not use it, I'm making the choice to not enjoy the community in the game. That's silly. This game has plenty of pointless areas as it is.

Major changes like level sync affect everyone, because it changes the game. If SE puts in the option to continue getting 700+sp from dodos, all the way to 50, that changes the entire game. Camp Drybone will be packed with lvl 10s and I'll be alone in the more exciting areas because I "decided not to use it."

Try to be a little more understanding of the counter-argument.

SE has to make sure they balance the areas and xp right. I dont think we would run into that problem, for the fact that this game is mission focused. The grinding was only added for players who finished their leves and wanted to GRIND, basically for the hardcore.

Your factor only has a chance to effect the Grind aspect of the game, so i dont think its fair to effect all the good possibilities that level sync will have on XIV.

There is nothing better than to do leves, raids, quests etc. with players of the same level, rather than having one high level 1 shotting everything and making things boring, basically doing your quest for you.

if people want to GRIND only in one area, so what let them, Grinding was only added for the people that want to grind, and will never be the main focus of the game. So on that note, level sync is beneficial for XIV's future.

Aha a solution, can't use level sync unless you have one job at 50! :O Genius...

I dont care for level sync. But when it come to being able to play with new players, it can be a good idea if implemented correctly. I actually like the suggestion of high level players syncing to play with lower level players but our sp gain remaining the same as if we were higher. "You wanna lvl, go play at your rank. Just wanna play with a rookie friend, this is your solution"

I would really like to see level sync added to FFXIV for any kind of party. If at the minimum for things like raids, quests, and guild leves.

That's horriblr, what would be the point of the level sync if I won't be able to receive normal xp? I might as well stay at my high level..

If I'm synced down to lvl 20 and fight a lvl 20 mob, it wouldn't be any different difficulty wise, so I should receive normal xp..

Actually I would prefer not to have level sync or have it optional.

Actually I can agree with this. I just feel like there could be a more creative way to handle this than XI's system. The recommended Ranks for behest and leves currently are far higher than the rank you really need to beat them, maybe make that a cap or an auto-sync for anyone higher instead.

At the very least, I would like to say for compromise sake, that if level sync is implemented then restrict the current power-leveling abuse as well. I kinda feel like the only reason that's possible is to accomadate people who want to play with friends anyways.
