Square Enix's history with levels and synching isn't all puppies and rainbows. If they can figure out how to implement it so that it doesn't channel the leveling grind into a small handful of areas, I'm all for it.
Also to go along with area vs that area things are going to change in 2.0. We are going to have zones with more diversity and hopefully a ton of zones. Hopefully multiple same level gap zones as well to add diversity that conduces party play for all level ranges.
