Guildleves Reform info up

1) I'd love to hear their brilliant idea for how to level up DoW / DoM classes in the 40's now. They are quick to break down the common method without introducing their new ideas.

2) Thank you for forcing us to move between cities at a greater rate even though there is still absolutely no transportation in this game besides a highly restrictive teleportation system.

But hey, at least they've made dozens of people happy with an empty statement like "guildleves are no longer the central focus of FFXIV" even though there is nothing else right now.

Like I said in the other post, if they don't add some sort of adjustment to another part of the game or add something else for leveling, all leveling the game is going to grind to a stop and it will probably end up killing off the player base other than the casuals just like it did in ffxi when they introduced abbysea. Either way I am going to congratulate them now, if they do it right then good job for giving us more freedom on how to level, and stopping the monotony of guild leves, and if you fail, good job on burying the game.

Guild leves wont be the central focus anymore because nerfing the sp gain they yield is a sure fire way to make people not care about them.

Edit: But bare in mind that there seems to be better/alternate ways for leveling on the horizon as well. This might not be too big of a deal. Unless you're a solo hippie.

Nerfing for PTs, yes, but they claim to be balancing it for solo players. They're trying to tone down the grindfest. Only time will tell if what they're planning and what they end up doing will actually work.

So since guild leves were 90% of the current party play in game, how they hell are they expecting to replace that? With a 60 minute dungeon? I dont think thats gonna work.

Quite true. But you don't really think the 1.18 dungeons will be the only new content released for the rest of the game's existence, do you?

Of course they are, stop being optimistic.

It will definitely take some adjusting, getting used to more solo style Guildleve content. I hope Guildleves are still viable in parties, as I play this game about 70% of the time in groups. The only things I do alone are the story missions, and some questing. It's quite common that I will get a small group and travel to Limsa, Ul'dah, or Gridania in order to partake in the quest content. I just enjoy group play, and I prefer Guildleve parties to grind parties. It doesn't take long to burn through 8 Guildleves when doing things solo.

I am reserving my real judgements though, until I see it in place. I'm even willing to wait until 1.19 to see the fruits of these bigger changes once they are completed. I'm trying to think bigger picture.

To accommodate this change, factors such as recommended/actual rank disparity, completion time, and partial participation will be made to influence the amount of points yielded.

I hope this will nip it in the butt the auto-follow crap that goes on. :D
