[Dev1001] Strategy or Exploit

[Mortikhan]

Perhaps this has already been addressed so I will be brief.

I would like a definitive call from the devs and some feedback from the community on purposely failing battle leves so they will stay in your journal for the following leve reset cycle. I have come across quite a few people who have been getting all of the same leves in common, stacking those leves, killing all but the last mob and then returning to the aetheryte to abandon the leve.

Apparently this allows you to keep the SP you earned but counts as a failed leve. Square Enix changed the manner in which this was handled awhile back in a patch due to frequent DCs so that failed leves could be repeated the following reset because people were losing Faction Points they earned and not having a fair shot at getting the reward they wanted.

So the question is....is this a good strategy or a loop-hole exploit? My personal view is that leves have rewards for a reason, to be completed. So auto-failing a leve is something I don't do. I have just been hearing from incoming members to our LS about it and have seen it employed quite often so would like to see it addressed one way or the other.

PS- Not really sure about the Dev tagging system here so not sure if I am addressing the right person or not.
