Well, in a sense they have certain qualities that, in theory, should balance them out (but actually don't, in reality).

Leve SP:
You can get anywhere from 50-100K per leve reset, but that's only for about 1-4 hours every 36 hours, assuming you have a decent group to party with.

Grind SP:
You can get anywhere from 10-20k SP per hour, and you can keep on grinding as long as you want, whenever you want, assuming you have a decent group to party with.


In reality, it takes way too long to get a decent party started in either scenarios, so that's a hindrance. There's also still a lot of confusion as to what constitutes a good party, and how that party is supposed to play together. There's also a limited number of good SP grind spots, as I noted in a previous post. It mainly comes down to a disturbing lack of viable choices available to a player in order to adequately gain SP via leves or regular mob grinding.
