This better not be a complain thread about the leve system. the systen is almost perfect now. It will never go back so get over it.

Nah, the leve mechanics are fantastic now. It's the reward balance that makes it not worth it to use them for anything but crafts. EXPs faster outside of leve, mats are gathered faster outside of leve, the faction rewards are weak now, guild marks won't exist soon... it's not that the SYSTEM is bad, it's fantastic. It's just... why bother? They fixed it just in time for its usefulness to wane. Hopefully they'll spruce it back up.

Can I have your leves? I'm trying to level my LNC.

I cannot fathom how people think leves are bad... I got 9 levels in a couple of hours the other day. Straight-up grinding is boring. Leves give me money, EXP, and bitches. Can't go wrong without bitches.

You say that at LNC16.... but by LNC30... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[thud] (for me, at least)

My only disagreement with this is leves shouldn't be the highlight of the game anymore, while I won't argue that better rewards wouldn't be a nice touch, if you make xp equal to that of a party then the party will suffer, etc. Party should always be the best way to gain xp (IMO) otherwise you'll have what we had last January, where people didn't want to party because it was faster solo.

It's a game of cat and mouse. I for one would love for them to introduce more types of leves and open up new leve locations, but that might not happen for a while.

Don't say that. Of course EXP is faster outside of leves, but when you suddenly have some time online where you don't feel like playing i PT, or don't have any of your mates online, it's great. I got my THM 48-50 in one day only doing leves. Guardians favour + 4 stars = 10k exp per leve more or less at rank 48. In other words: 10-12 leves per level.
The "new" system with how exp is rewarded, also leads to it being easier to do other leves than the previous Broken Water fail and retry-leves, which also leads to more exploring.

Did a faction leve as well the other day, and got my Vintage Jester's Cap, which is still a good mage head. There are some other nice rewards out there as well - and the achievements of course
