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

The motive is obvious. Optimize solo gameplay. Yoshida said they'll be doing something for he enjoyment of all play styles. There's also a rough list of party/group activities that are in the works. Not sure where you're going with this?

So basically, they want me to quit until the party content is out? I'm fine partying with leves right now. I like running 8 person leve parties. I like how it works now, and they're changing it in a way that's negative for me.

In my opinion, they shouldn't have changed leves until the party content was ready. This is a bad move that actually makes the game have even less content. It's pretty easy to walk away from XIV right now, and this just makes it easier.
