think there is a bit of misunderstanding with op's point #3. he only meant that the battle leves should activate upon receipt, i.e., you choose the leve from counter, and it starts right away.

a couple of scenarios on why this might be a bad idea:

1. i don't have time to play prior to the next leve reset, but will have time after the reset. i would like to be able to do 16 battle/gathering leves instead of only 8 (i.e. after the leve reset). this could be mitigated by having the option to activate a leve right away or to keep it for further usage.

2. i don't have the anima required to teleport to bw, therefore must make the long trek down. time limit on a leve is 30 minutes, which will leave me very little time to do my leve. this could be mitigated by having free teleport to said aethryte.

just thought of a third scenario: do you have to come back to the leve counter after you finish every leve quest to procure & start another one? that seems awfully unnecessary.
