So.. ruining leves with no content to replace it?

[Ashthra]

Leves were never content.

I'm also wondering what we'll be spending most of our time on now that leves are filler solo stuff.

[Kiroh]

So far Yoshi has said this about leves.

1.) They will be nerfed in 1.18. (The rewards, particularly the bonuses for completion and linking will be lowered)

2.) There is no current leveling content to replace them and he knows this is an issue, but they will still be nerfed.

3.) They WILL NOT be the main method of gaining SP for non-casual players. Leves will now be aimed at players who only have a very limited playtime per day.

4.) Side-quests will someday give sp, but not in 1.18.

5.) Leves will now only give guild marks in the cities where the guilds themselves reside.

(In other words, yes. They are ruining leves with no alternatives planned in the next patch.)

This part is what makes no logical sense to me.

leves weren't content...it was just an alternate and rather inefficient way of grinding.

i couldnt agree more. Leves are bad, worse is the fact that everyone is using them to level in groups. I'm damn sick and tired of all that noise. Want the reason for the lack of skillful play? Its leves through and through, up until they get nerfed, at least...hopefully... There is only one way to get groups in the field, nerf the leves and watch the tension build. I'm starting to rhyme... not good... Honestly, I was a bit worried because up until recently I've been doing leves and behests, but frankly the rant on the nerf isn't a concern. I've been saying, no shouting in game for as long as i've been playing. The fun to be had is not centered around these crystals! The caves YOU FOOLS they're all around, find one get comfy and figure it out. Run around for god sake! You can solo mobs 10 levels above! Party bonus + favor + BRAINS - NOOBS!!!

Leves were what you do for half an hour and log off. That isn't a way to play an MMO...especially one that aims to be subscription based.

This sucks, I don't know if its the state of the game right now or the lack of players, or the crappy search feature, or no proper exp camps, not enough rewarding sp.

Well I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible.

You know I can deal with everything that is wrong with the game but what I can't deal with is not having a consistent way to level when I want for as long as I want.

Its so sad that the game still hasn't got a good way to level with no restrictions, cough at cooldowns and surplus.

Yes I know all this is being removed, and some great news lately but I just wish it was done sooner.

I'm tired of waiting, but meh I still have faith in the game!

I think adjusting guildleves at this point is a very very poor decision. Down the road, fine. But right now it's the only thing players have to actually do in the game and despite this, they're nerfing it to a possibly very disheartening extent.

maybe, by nerfing it, it will promote people to actually make parties and invite players from other LS...instead of just having LS leve runs for an hour then logging off for 36 hours...
