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

[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.
