Comprehensive list of problems with the Guildleve system

[Betelgeuzah]

the problem is the fact that if you choose to do your guildleves solo, you lock yourself out of partying for the reset, which is ridiculously better.

I don't think this is the case. You can still leve-share, and it should be mentioned that you should always leve-share if possible, because it gives you +100% SP over-all instead of +50% or so from a single link. If you have the time, you're better off doing the same leve twice.

While I agree with most of your suggestions, I think that what we need are more varied leves and more ways to customize them, as well as a better party search system.

Although to be frank, I would think that changing the system into something more Nyzul Isle-like may go a long way in making the feature more enjoyable. Instead of having few different objectives and certain fixed layouts with certain fixed monster types, they could mix them up randomly and keep implementing more layouts and objectives in the updates, that adds to the system as a whole, instead of only piling more leves on top of the existing ones. Whenever they add a new objective or a monster type or a leve layout, the whole system is affected by it.
