Please Make Leve-Sync optional

[Guevara]

I personally do not like lvl sync.... will force us to carry lower level gear and mess up our inventory.

If they make it optional so that I can enjoy a content with a lower level friend, or make an exp party with lower level persons, it is ok, but if level sync means that if I enter a Lv25 Dungeon I am forced to play as a Lv25 character, then no, please. Really don't want that.

It would also be illogical; what if I have a Lv50 class and wanna go farm lower lv gear for another class of mine? Can I not use my higher class to farm in a lower dungeon, as I would farm on the un-instanced open world?

I think that was the point like people getting low level ifrit done super easy in 2.0 you be forced to be the level needed to make the fight hard. so sadly by the look of it yes you be forced to be level 20 in a level 20 dungeon so no more farming on a high level job

Level sync =! needing separate gear sets. XI scales it down (now). GW2 scales it down just fine.

That's good to hear.... I left FFXI short after the promyvion thing and remember going mad for having to rebuy all gear for them.

...but still I demand the opportunity to go farm a dungeon on a high level class if I want to. Forcing Lv-Sync in quests like weak-Ifrit is ok; just not everywhere.

It would just be nice if when they scale down your gear it doesn't make it utterly useless like it did in XI.

This. That's the only condition to make level-sync worthwhile.

XI is a rare case since most gear gave boosts to skills and traits rather than just base stats. I wouldn't expect to see that again in another game. Level sync shouldn't be a problem as far as gear scaling is concerned, it's just sort of an arbitrary obstacle that tries to keep old content new.

Why should you farm a low lv instance as a highlevel player anyways?
really Mostly NO ONE is interested.

And i dont enjoy to help players with my lv 50 char for a low level dungeon. the "newbie" receives no exp while clearing it, nor he has any gaming experience "Killing ifrit in 5 secs"

seriously (for me) its more interesting to experience again old content stuff, although i dont have any low level class in that range anymore.

I would want to go in a dungeon (let's say Toto-rak) with a Lv50 class cause I might want to farm equipment for a lower level class I have. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to do so.

Why should I be able to go and one-shot a NM in the open world and get a lower level weapon for a class I wish to level, and not quickly run through a dungeon in order to do the same.

As I said forcing LV-Sync is OK in some situations (Ifrit-weak, maybe storyline quests) but not in repeatable content like dungeons...

...if they force lv-sync in dungeons, then they should force lv-sync also in the open field.... "wanna fight a Lv10 coblyn?. well, you will be scaled to a lv10 character".


On the other hand, if they let us choose to lv-sync or not, people like yourself (and myself also) with all classes at 50 will be free to go in a dungeon enjoying a challenging experience as a lv25 character or to just stay lv50 and speed through it for farming purposes.

And power levelling will still exist :[
