Plan to remove benefit for failing leves?

[Altano]

That's why I finish my leves because I know at the "very least" I'm doing something for my nation.

I actually just spit out my drink reading this from laughter.

Please explain how Gridania/LL/Ul'dah care one way or the other in real terms about you finishing your leve. Just because the game says it cares doesn't mean it actually does. There is no competition between cities right now, so this is just a B.S. answer as to why one should not fail leves.

That's the difference between people who form emotional attachments to their character and the in-game world and those who see it as empty pixels with numbered goals.

It's an in-character quasi-RP mindset. Makes perfect sense to me.

As an aside, I would love when the in-game achievement system comes out. Maybe there will be an achievement for a number of completed leves. Wouldn't that make all the leve failers cry?

No. I didn't "form an emotional attachment" to my character before, sure as hell not about to start now. Least of all for pseudo-content like achievement systems.

It's an in-character mindset, whether the game gives you an actual reward or not. Makes perfect sense to me.

I have plenty of attachment to my characters in games. I just have very little attachment to the process of ranking up. Leveling is a means to an end. If one can pretend that Ul'dah cares about leves being finished, I can sure as hell pretend Ul'dah won't mind after I've done the exact same task for them 30 times if I decide to stop doing it.

And the achievement you mention is just another trade off for people to consider; we've been doing it for months, and we'll keep doing it. Until we decide we want the achievement. And then we'll make that trade-off. Yawn.
