I like the way you think

The thing is level sync will work better in this game than xi. If you are a lvl 42 MRD or what ever Why would you want the slow ass exp of an lvl 27 pt cause exp gained per fight is based on lvls. So if you decided to have an lvl 27 pt instead of an 42 woud Lvl much slower than if you had an pt in your correct lvl range.

I think @ 20-3o exp is caped @ like 600 max or something, and 31-39 is like is like 900 max, and 40-50 is like 2k max you can get per kill with full link/chain bonus.

@OP: I would choose the 4/8 cause most classes aren't fun that low and you would not have access to jobs.

As for the XI thing, leveling in those areas only became popular because you got the most xp/hr at those camps unlike in this game 40+ has the best xp/hr you'll find in this game. Also in XI your skills were gimped due to level syncing below your level, that problem does not apply to XIV.

All in all level sync would better fit in XIV then it did in XI and I hope they add it.

You suggest we not do anything and sit on our hands until fall/winter 2012 in hopes of people coming to the game and doing stuff with them when people now are trying to do stuff with friends currently playing who are too low or too high to actually play together? THAT sounds fun... >.>

Level Sync never again.

The concept was awesome and if it worked to only allow people to party with their friends, it would be great... but that is not what happens.

If you are 50 in all classes why do you need to level sync to help your friends? You can power level them. If you're against it? Tell them why and don't do it. Power leveling as it is now actually fills the level sync hole, allowing a high lvl friend to help lower level players and actually accelerate their party even more. As the power level it's up to you if you blast the mob for them completely or give them a small amount of assistance. People need to quit acting like they have no choices in this game but to take the easiest route... I bet most people on here only tanked Ifrit with a Marauder or Gladiator and never attempted maybe a Pugalist or Conjurer (they worked, by the way).

This is the same basic MMO bs where people take the path of least resistance but if they don't like said path they complain about it to get it changed... because in the end they want the fastest exp but only in the form or fashion THEY want it to exist.

Higher levels can currently help low level friends in 14, same as 11 with lvl sync just a different system. So if the end result is basically the same why are you all so caught up on the means when it's barely different? You're either going to PL and maybe somebody gets 50 being lazy, or you're going to lvl sync and somebody's going to get 50 having never touched an ability over 30 or 40 and be stupid that way. Or, people can just level however they want, be elitist and snobby if they desire or lazy. I can guarantee you it only takes a few parties for a bad player's rep to precede them, and at that point the entire problem of a bad 50 is more or less remedied until they shape up.


But do you know what will happen if lvl sync coems to this game? It won't give people low to mid lvl parties. It will end up with a high lvl group throwing on a bunch of spiritbond gear, syncing down to extremely low level and grabbing several high lvl blm members to power-level spew them through low lvl mobs at a ridiculous rate to bind gear. You remember summoner burn? Or all the 1-75 dunes parties? Ronfaure S? List of how Level Sync got abused is much higher than the list of things it helped, despite its good intentions. It is a system that never needs to come back.

level sync should be a choice. In ffxi it was impossible to level with someone 4 levels higher or lower. In ffxiv, i see that this is not the case, and i have really enjoyed the perks of leveling with people in party's. So if it were a choice then that wouldn't be so bad. But choice does sort of defeat the purpose of a level sync lol.
