So, I love battlecraft leves, they were always a fun way to gather exp alone or with a small group when I didn't have the time or energy for roulettes. The rewards and random treasure chests were always fun, and the excitement upon finding a bounty was great too. Not just that, but I loved their lore in the game, the design of having these unique, stained-glass plates that represent a request from the townsfolk and whatnot helped keep those lore-friendly adventurer roots, and it was a nice change of pace from "Give these soldiers some soup" and other "Talk to NPC, then this one, then this one" quests.
When Stormblood released, I was excited to see what kinds of new levequests there would be from the new regions. Needless to say, I was disappointed on several levels that there were no battlecraft leves at the counter in Kugane. Levequests were so unique to FFXIV, and a great system as part of the myriad ways we can grow our characters (especially when there are no other quests to pick up). It pains me to see them gone, and I can only imagine why they were removed...
In Heavensward, there was only one place to get leves, and upon completion of a leve, the teleport option would not take you back to this counter. This odd change does a lot to kill the momentum and fun of levequesting, and if Square was seeing the lack of people taking battlecraft levequests as the reason to not implement them in Stormblood, they miscalculated. This playerbase has shown time and again that they want the least amount of inconvenience in their experience, and unfortunately Heavensward battlecraft leves posed an annoying problem in their use. This can easily be remedied by simply putting levemetes back into the towns in regions where levequests take us.
I don't want FFXIV to lose one its more unique leveling features, especially for it to just fall off the face of Hydaelyn halfway through a player's experience from 1-70. Hear me out Yoshi-P! Don't leave the Leves behind!
