Wow, this was a question bout if it still worked and turned into a big debate? Useless +1
In the end, if you don't like SMN burn, then go don't like it in your own little world, SMN burn does nothing to effect you badly, it does nothing to stop you from gaining anything, it does nothing to ruin your game what so ever. So why cry about it? Most people are just jealous because of the rate of which you XP at.
Now why be jealous? I leveled all my jobs up but 3 the pure hard way and hell, I don't give a flying rats *** about SMN burn, I'll give them my corsair 2hr to help them out.
Because in the end. You NEED SMN's for it, SMN's get ***all for decent updates. Wow the radius got widened? You a-holes SE that should of been fixed from the beginning, don't pose it as an update. There isn't enough SMN's around and this brings more into the world, and since no party ever wants one, this is the only thing they have. Yeh they could Solo, but some people cannot do it, some people are not that skilled, others just don't have the hours of the day to go do it and learn it well.
So everyone bashing it, just back off? Has nothing to do with you at all.
Aint a loophole anyway. Level sync is not a loophole of it. You sync in East Ron (S) and happy to whale on the birds with a bunch of DD's and some PL, call that a loophole? You're all happy to do it, exact same thing.
Everyone needs to stop thinking of it as: OMG 40K EXP IN 5 MINUTES?
When its more like: Run everyone out there (10 minutes or more), setup everyone, (5mins), Go pull (15-20 minutes), Hold mobs and ensure everyones there (5mins), do corsair rolls for a 5, and any other stuff rings/signet, (2-3 mins), then go in and 2hr (5 minutes). then go back to town after*** about xp (5 minutes), reget 2hrs back (time changes due to unluckiness you can be in not resetting 2hrs, so this could take well up to 30 minutes, but say for this takes 10 minutes to get it first try and start again).
Adding it up, its almost an hours worth of work, for 40k XP
You can almost get that in a good merit PT using Emp.
Takes a lot of work to do it. Time reduced by how quick you can cut the time on every event.
