Do not force level caps on content - You segregate the player base

[Platinumstorm]

Level sync is fine so players can have the option to choose the difficulty, but making level caps on content forever segregates communities and leads to unhealthy MMO environments. Do not make this mistake.

It was a good story, it was not jaw-dropping story however, definitely overrated like FF7 IMO. I am not going to go through why it was a bad expansion, the level cap was part of how it segregates community, there was alot of people unable to finish CoP, i finished but it was more of i-just-want-get-over-it feeling than well-that-was-certainly-tough-and-fun-fight and i never wants to help anyone that shouts on CoP mission.

That is completely different than what we have been getting here, like "United We Stand" fight, "Shadow of Raven" fight. Which was praised for being a fun and moderately tough fight. Stuff can be hard without level cap, level cap just put you on unnecessary handicap. Annoying as hell, especially when we needed gear for the particular level before and there was no gear scaling.

So. No. for me at least.

Not when the party is 25 levels higher than what the content was designed around

A friend of mine who started playing recently was pissed because there was no one around his level to help with baby Ifrit, and the group he got killed it before he finished watching the cutscene. He was looking forward to something that wasn't leves, and it was ruined. Level cap would have fixed that issue

Besides, XI got gear scaling, which would imply XIV would have gear scaling, so I think that's a moot point

You know what else would be ruined? if its level capped and absolutely nobody is helping him. BOOM.

Rmoving 90% of a piece of equipment's functionality when level synched is not gear scaling.

I vote no on level capped content. I vote yes on level synch to make partying easier.

Well.. it is the best... CoP was the best Expansion of FFXI and top 3 all time.

I sure as hell thought it was!

I really liked CoP, although ToAU and WotG were more in-depth with the game's lore. I think WotG was the best of the XI expansions.

As for capped missions, I don't see why they would unless they included proper gear scaling. Sure it sucks when a player gets more-or-less dragged through it while their lvl50 friends shred the boss, but it's better than a mandatory cap. There should definitely be some level-capped content for the lowby players to join their friends (and not feel rushed to skip the leveling phase) but main scenario quests should not be capped.
