Crafting leves are separate, so why not harvesting?

[Dreamer]

I hope they change their minds on this, I hardly ever get to do the field craft leves because I use all 8 on battle craft leves to level with my friends. Leves are one of the few things in this game that give you a reason to group up with friends. Harvesting on the other hand is a solo activity, sure it would be nice to have some leves or quests to complete instead of mindlessly running from node to node but I cannot see trading a few of my 8 available leve slots to do so.

Not to be mean, but that's your fault, not the game's. If you want them to be separate, you can do so. Grab 4 battle leves, 4 fieldcraft leves, and your crafting leve. There are an equal number of crafting and battle classes, and less than half that number are devoted to harvesting. Given how much slower the crafting classes are to level than either battle or fieldcraft, I think the current allocation is fairly balanced.

There are an equal number of battle and crafting leves if you only do battle and crafting which would be 8 and 8. If you add gathering to that, it takes from your battle leves. If that factor is added in then there are now 8 crafting leves and 8 battle/gathering leves that can be split in whatever manner the player that does both wishes to split it.

I don't know if it's just me but I find gathering classes slower to level than my battle/crafting classes in all honesty... and I rank everything. I just don't feel it fair that someone who enjoys gathering and battle jobs have to be stiffed SP because they enjoy ranking both. Even if you go 'pure' class, gatherers are still getting stiffed in the end.

Pure Battle = 8 leves

Pure Crafting: = 8 leves

Pure Gatherer = 6 leves

Whoops, sorry about that. I meant classes, not leves. Correcting my original post to clarify.

Well even if you go class wise, if you break it down there are 4 branches of classes:

DoW
DoM
DoL
DoH

... so if you go by the logic that there are less classes so its fair they have less leaves, would the people who play DoM (which there are only two) be happy if they were told they were going to get less leves due to the fact that there weren't as many classes in DoM as their are in the other three areas of classes so they didn't need as many as everyone else? No, they are given the same opportunity as DoW's to have 8 battle leves.

A class area should not be penalized just because there aren't as many classes within that area. Everyone should be given the chance to use 8 leves how they see fit. So even then, as I said, DoL are kinda ripped off because they only get 6 while DoH, DoW and DoM can still get 8 leves if they wish to do so and are penalized battle leves on top of it.

The math still doesn't work out for people who enjoy ranking up both Gathering and Battle Classes.
