Failing leves isn't an exploit, but it is retarded. So in a game where really the only two things to do are fight stuff and get gear somehow (crafting, buying, earning), so you make getting the rank more important and you get sp by failing leves. I have like 700 faction cred is all i'm not worried, i'll fail leves out the ass if i need too, but now that i have new people in my linkshell they're not gonna want to fail leves because they need faction cred to do faction leves, one of the only things of "content" we have. So what happens, you're stuck leveling like a effin retard completing leves for poor sp, just so someone can get their faction cred. They should balance this, seriously, guildleves are a stupid invention if they're technically better failed than passed, and this is coming from someone who did fail all leves everday till i had a journal full of fails. Balance guildleves, make most guildleves good, or make grinding off of mobs viable. I'm really effing tired of FFXIV being about "making your own play style" and all they have done is limit the way people have to play this game. If you don't feel it thats just effing wow.
