<Spoiler alert>As if the game itself isn't a giant troll that at level 46 the main storyline jumps to 49. </Spoiler alert>

And so your only option is to grind, a painful and slow process that requires you to click Level Sync each and every time because your level doesn't match anymore. And if anyone with proper grinding sense knows that Dragonhead is the place to be till you catch up.

So here's what happened. I'm a level 48 dragoon and you have no choice but to stay within the range radius or else your EXP gets cut in half or worse, none. And sometimes Jump is so broke that you need to time it right or else you take the full damage is the animation isn't complete (Which is another problem). While doing the giant eye boss fate I stood there, literally for the whole fight dying, doing damage for the whole painful 5 minutes, and to get the last hit, I jumped, and if that didn't make timings worse he walked out of the range circle and died.

Reward? 0 EXP. Nothing! "Fate Complete" so basically dying for nothing? And in our party we had members who were below 45 and in town, getting the full 25k EXP, reward gold and pet minion.

I suggest a 1-2min timer to be synced with your last fate so if you die your efforts dont go to shit. Standing and dying for 5 mins just to get 0 exp for 1 second I landed out of range is complete bs. That and there should be an auto level sync when you walk into an instance.
