What does this change about Leves being part of this game and people being able to do them at all?
I will repeat myself once again...you say this will keep people from PTing on leves because Yoshi says they will be catered towards solo players?

Well, I'm just worried if you are able to think that far but apparently not...doing leves NOT solo is STILL gonna be MORE SP, compared to doing them solo. Doing them solo is just supposed to give you some sort of progression AS WELL(which is not the case right now after you hit mid/late 30s)

PS: First...I don't care if I'm in constant violation of the ToS...people like you don't seem to get it w/o throwing stuff like that at your face.

Second...your signature and more importantly your Lodestone Profile(as it is more up to date than your signature) tells me you won't be capped on all before the patch...so obviously you DO care.

NOTHING that will change about leves would keep people from doing leves in group...NOTHING...what is so hard to understand about that?

Leve links and mobs in leves will give less SP...but doing them Solo is gonna be even less...so what is everybodies point in this argument, especially you Darkstar...you just seem to fail at thinking 1 step ahead...all you see is reduced SP...just think...it might make your head hurt, but do it, it will pay off in the end!

The skill point bonus will be abolished for battlecraft leves. The amount of skill points awarded for slaying individual enemies will be reduced, but this will be offset by the inclusion of skill points as a reward for leve completion. To accommodate this change, factors such as recommended/actual rank disparity, completion time, and partial participation will be made to influence the amount of points yielded. In addition, leve linking and sharing bonuses will be reduced, while the maximum number of linkable leves will be raised.
I bolded the parts in which you seem to not understand. Think about it a little more. What looks more desirable? Solo play or party play?
