This whole failing leves making people bad is BS. If failing leves makes a player bad, not skilled, or whatever you want to call it, then its very freaking likely that that person is going to suck no matter how they get to 50. A players skills or understanding of their job has nothing to do with whether or not they have failed a leve.
Anyways, it's the same leve that everyone else does, just minus one enemy(where is the big deal here?). I never failed a leve until I had 2 jobs at 50 and full Buccaneer gear. Does that make me a bad player because I fail leves now? I only fail 4 leves and finish another 4. Why should I finish them anyways? I have multiple jobs at 50, fully understand every job available, don't need the gil rewards, don't need faction points, and have been through the grind enough times at these camps that I don't see a problem with it. Mobs just don't magically die at the start of a mission when they find out I am going to abandon the leve, I still have to do the leg work to get them dead, just like everyone else. Some of you act like people in Abaddon are failing leves 24/7/365. Leves are just a small portion of the grouping and teamwork that go on.
And also, don't be acting like people in Abaddon are the only ones who fail leves. Its server wide, not just one LS. Most people in my previous 2 Linkshells did the same exact thing if they came across the good leves, and why not? Some leves really suck..... really bad. I spend lots of time at camps semi-afk while I craft or read books and I see people in ALL YOUR LINK SHELLS failing leves. No one in this thread has an LS that is "innocent" in this. And don't forget that lots of us across different link shells are good friends with each other. We all talk, hang out, and sometimes do leves with one another, and guess what? You/they all do it too! Don't act all high and mighty just because you are one of the very few who supposedly does not fail a leve. If you rather do A terrible thirst instead of Dunesfolk every reset, then that is totally fine with the rest of us. Some people don't have all day to play and rather manage their free time better by doing leves that are more productive. Boo hoo.
Sorry for the long winded rant. It's just old seeing this discussion EVERYWHERE!. If there is a thread with no Abaddon people in it, then someone will make sure to mention them to try to get them in the thread and start an argument. It's rude and childish. I am no better for responding, but it gets hard not to when it happens in every thread... on multiple websites even.
Scape, out.
