Plan to remove benefit for failing leves?

[Molly_Millions]

honestly i think this idea that leves become solo only is innaccurate,
when they say they are going to be solo content they mean, solo players will get more benefit from them than they used to, as in solo players will have a viable means of leveling up.
Doesnt mean groups wont also get benefit, sp reward changing for time of completion and difficulty more directly benefits groups.
the only thing that is getting nerfed is fail a leve strategy, and leve linking to god level sp. lets be honest, 1k sp, for a monster that automatically has less hp than its in the field compatriot, is kind of foolish, especially for "group content". Group content should actually have more hp, it was pretty backward before.

that said, im not a fan of them nerfing the sp available over all, but just the skill point change alone is going to lower your SP, remember having incredibly hax stats for most of your replaying jobs on other classes? well now you will be as gimp as a new player. And i can tell you having played with my friends who just started, the effect of having stats is not small.

the part i highlighted isn't correct. Nowhere have I seen that soloing leves will give you any more SP that it does now. If anythin you'll get less or the same as now. We'll get even less if we do them as a group.

They are disincentivizing (is that even a word?) leves as a way to rank up as a group, which leaves them as solo centric content. They aren't adding incentives to complete them solo.

Yeah, it is the present participle of disincentivize. And I agree; until rank 40 plus, I have a feeling leves will be very underwhelming.

Edit: My friend sums this up fairly well.
forumer: rank up too fast
SE: kill behest
forumer: lol BW leves so easy

Seems all the cry babies got there way in something that was not a major issue next all were going to see is " No place to Rank up or level blah blah " cuz in reality just took the best way to level and made it solo so also say goodbye to any kind of player bonding. what's next making Linkshells only 8 people and can only type 1000 words a day?...

Not a major issue? People are skyrocketing to 50.

Please, it doesn't matter what it was or wasn't officially called, the fact remains that they addressed a power-level exploit.

QQ moar.

If you want to get to level cap in a week, I'd recommend World of Warcraft.
