I'm able to link a previous leve of my own with a new one if it's the same by having one player hold the leve while I log out and log back in, go pick up the new one and rejoin the leve group, which in turn gives us a extra link. I was suggested to report as a possible bug..
Thanks!

I have him in game with me so Ill post on his behalf for the moemnt as to the steps in what he did.
1) Take the leve(any leve) while in a party.
2) Log out of the game
3) Log back in
4) return to town, and pick up the leve again
5) Return to camp
6) Rejoin the leve which is still in progress(since everyone else in party is still on it)
7) Link the leve, thus boosting the SP gains of the leve
What is happening is this method is being used to self link your own leve in duo parties. Giving them a full 3 link party, with just 2 peope by abusing the fact that logging out doesnt penalize someone for leaving the leve like abandoning it does.
All players every where are capable of dual linking by following my beginning post. I was also informed you don't have to log out, just fail the leve, just lose it. The big question was is this an exploit. I personally don't think so as it's a rare thing more for people that don't play as much. I just wanted to point it out as suggested. I play on Besaid, hume male, glad role, tried it once on a whim.

I understand that it may seem like a lot of information to provide. However, the more specific the information that is provided, the better the chances that the development team is able to thoroughly investigate and diagnose the situation. Since you have stated that everyone is able to do this, I will make sure to submit the information that you have provided to the development team, and they will try their best to investigate the matter, based on the details that you have provided. I recommend keeping an eye on this thread for any information about this investigation. Please do keep in mind in the future, though, that detailed information about your specific experience with a possible issue is greatly appreciated, since it helps us help you as best as we can. Thanks again for your report!
Greetings once more, Fiske!
Thank you for your patience with the wait for a response to your report. Unfortunately, according to the development team, the information that you have provided seems to describe an appropriate function, since the guildleve is used up and the appropriate amount of reward is earned. If you continue to experience trouble with this matter, please provide another detailed report about what you have experienced. Thanks again for your patience!
