I am still waiting for a good answer why Level Sync should be added. The "I want to group with my friend that start during the PS3 launch" arguement is garbage. Level Sync was never added in FF11 so people could level with their friends, it was added because low levels couldn't get parties because people had 7 years to play the game and had no jobs under 37 to level with, and it was causing the newer players to quit.
In this game, which is not a mob grind game, there is no need for it, because there are better/other means to level up. Players aren't going to get into FF14 and not be able to get parties to exp with, because you don't need parties to advance in this game.
FF11 was a good game, Alexia, it really was, I played from US launch day until 2008, and I loved it. But why people want 14 to be 11 with better graphics is beyond me. FF 14 is not FF11, they are totally different beasts. Systems that were implemented in FF11 to improve the game, are not needed in 14, because they do not do anything. FF14 doesn't have the troubles of getting people into groups that FF11 had before they implemented Level Sync, you want to implement something that tries to fix something that isn't broken. It's like giving Chemotherapy to someone that has a stuffy nose. FF14 has far more pressing issues that need fixed, other than "I want to group with my lower level friends at ps3 launch."
