leves are worse than grinding. Leves have you repeating the same mundane and lame "stories" over and over again whereas at the very least grinding would typically have you moving around the world from time to time, it lets you "make your own fun" as a lot of people seem to be using that phrase for anything FFXIV lately. Grinding, if its viable, shouldn't necessarily be the best option but right up there...however leves should definitely not be it and I stick by wanting them nerfed...they are daily quests and they were advertised as casual content, instead they are the bulk of the game's content (whether or not more is coming its clear the maps are built with crystals all over to facilitate leves so more and more are coming) and they should be casual and solo only - they can give ridiculous SP but no leve sharing and no leve linking. They are a boring system, even worst than straight grinding. And if any of this paragraph is not legible I apologize my eyes are seeing double as I stayed up all night so....yea.
