    Wat you miss when abandoning leves

    So I have gotten to the point where I fail every leve I have to ensure I get it again at the next reset. What am I missing from failing these? Faction points? I'm not even sure what they are used for - anything worth while? And there is a gil reward but currently I think SP > faction points and gil. Am I wrong?

    Depends if you want to get any of the gear from the special missions (Buccaneer's, Templar's etc). They only drop from the Faction leves (rarely) and cost 400 points a fight. But you could save up like 15mil a piece (depending on item and I guess which server) if you really wanted.

    I know the SP is good on some leves, but I personally don't bother abandoning them and just do 6 each reset with at least a group of 3 or 4 with leves also

    Yeah, in my point of view, you are wrong. You miss satisfaction to complete the leves, you miss variety since you repeat the three same leves indefinitely, and you miss the essence of the game "to be an adventurer that help the world where he lives".

    Btw, yes, you miss Faction points.... The only way to unlock the most interesting quests of the game, imho, i mean Faction leves.

    Just my opinion

    I agree, and hopefully they will address this, I think by adding SP bonus' for completing leves would big a good step in that direction.

    Adding this they could then increase the popularity of less popular leves, and add further bonuses for linking them as well.

    maybe it's just me but when I do faction, it's just like another leve with different mobs, and after awhile it's gets the same feeling of "I've done this over 20x", they just prolonged the appearance of that effect by adding points. Granted they are ,at first,funner, Just after awhile dull none the less.

    EXACTLY! I mean first time to fight buffalo we wiped and I was like o shit.. finally a challenge! Then after a few tries and after we found out sorrnous blast (sp?) was a hate reset, it was easy mode and we went about our boring ffxiv lives.. it's pitiful =\ They need an AV reincarnate >_> Only reason I fish is because it requires minimal attention and I can watch anime, even that I've stopped doing though so idk. June will make me a believer again I hope, I spent so much money on this damn game, it better not fail xD...Maybe not as much money as per say time.

    Apparently we aren't good enough to fix the problem if it keeps happening
