Regional Levequest failed to fail!

I think it has something to do with this.

The following bugs have been addressed:

A bug wherein faction leve rewards could be obtained repeatedly without proper expenditure of faction credits

From my understanding people were abusing a bug where you could do faction leves over and over without using up faction points. I'm assuming by killing the NM and getting the chest but then "failing" it. I'm not sure of the specifics though.

I still feel there should be something more than a waist of faction points when it takes so much to earn them. That doesn't make sense to me, since only the person who started the leve (or linked?) has a chance at getting a rune.

If that person doesn't touch the chest before failing, there is no loot. The most the rest of the party gets for their troubles is a proportionally smaller amount of gil and crystals.

At some point they started giving SP too, which I can see being abused, unless the whole party is denied spoils of any kind unless the person who started the leve is present, but would that be fair to the party? Eh... I get the feeling this sort of thing is low on Square-Enix's list of improvements anyway. They have come a long way, but they still have a long way to go!

I know this is a late response, but I appreciate you taking the time to post Arcell.
