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

Isn't MRD the only battle-guild currently in use in Limsa? Eight-man MRD parties anyone? ^^

Did YOU not read that you will get BONUS SP for COMPLETING a Leve now? This could very well make up for reduced link and mob SP in general. Not to mention they said we will be able to link more leves now, so we could basically get the same SP as before with just 1-2 more links on one leve.

ok please explain with your understanding how 6 people linking for the same sp as 4 people now will not be reduced. you attacked a point and fail at trying to promote your point because it is fundamentally flawed.

the point you attacked was simple. if it takes more after then it did before it is a reduction and it is completely correct.

Not to mention, what are the odds of 4+ people getting the same leves anyway? Especially now that they're making failing leves less attractive.

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!!!

I think they are trying to ween people off of leves, which is a good thing to do, since they are drastically reducing leve implications on the game. I am sure they realize that they will need to increase some of the mob spawn rates to accomodate for the increase in pts that will be grinding. I am sure they will also be adding something else to fill the void that will be left when leves are downscaled.

My last hope for this patch are the quest hubs. I swear if they get delayed to heads will be rolling!

yeah they realize it and will undergo cost analysis and discussions about the possible implementation of the beginnings of mob adjustments some time in the future. just hang in there and wait for them.

You people need to stop whining... Getting 50k+ sp/hour is way too much, from what I remember when the game was released in grind parties you would be happy if you could already get 13k-15k sp/hour, took effort and time, but you actually felt like you achieved something when you hit 50, right now in grind parties you can get 20k+ sp/hour easily, and about the "too many parties will be grinding in the same spot" shit, like you guys say, the game doesn't have many people so don't expect that many parties grinding out in the field and even if you do find another party, there is still more spots to grind, Eorzea is fucking huge, explore it, you'll find other grinding spots for sure.
Overall, leves make you level way too fast, getting a class from 1-50 in 3-5 weeks while playing 1-2 hours per day is beyond stupid, the ones complaining about leves getting nerfed are either: a) lazy, b) want everything in their hand, c) want to get 50 as fast as possible just to say they have 50.

kthx bye

(Sorry for the rant~)

At first everyone was saying get rid of the leves now when they decide to change we cry. I really don't know what the people want from this game anymore...

I think people are getting ahead of themselves. This u[pcoming patch is bigger then we had so far. And the main focus of said patch is the fixing of the battle system. While in the next patch doing some refining.

We already got people complaining their ARCHERS will be close ragnged fist users.

My advice is stop thinking ahead in the most negative view and just wait.

Also a group never needed the same leves to begin with. People just assumed if they didn't have the same leves that it was... what was the term... leeching. When everyone got rewared no matter who leve it was with some gil etc. So you ruined leves yourselves thinking with that elitistidm mindset.

I like the changes, and yes they are going to add wait of parting with these leve changes. It may not be in this patch due to the battle reform is the main portion. Personally who cares...
no one talks in this game, i mainly grinded my gathering classes till i got tired of the silance. I'm playing WoW just to talk to ppl. Oh and no one bunny hops.
