Reducing my level

[Hasrat]

This is exactly why I haven't installed it yet ;p

I failed to buy HW before it was bundled into SB, so there's no stopping til I hit 70 now.

Only bright side is getting SAM and RDM so I can keep all the jobs balanced and geared together.

I'm still awaiting word from OP directly but for now I'll assume that others have surmised correctly and it's a "omg it's not organized looking" thing.

That sucks, but no, there is no way to remove levels in this game. I sympathize with your situation, but barring any actual mechanic that requires it, it's highly unlikely anything like that will ever be enacted. Others have already suggested all possible solutions, I wish you luck OP.

That’s a bit harsh don’t you think? I’ve met lots of people online with all different types of problems. I have social interaction problems and could possibly have autism - should I stop playing a game I love just because I find it difficult to socialise? If you can reset retainers levels and at one point when it was applicable you could reset your attributes, why not be able to reset your character level as well? Judging from the responses on this thread the OP is not the only one with this issue, are you saying they should stop playing too because mmos aren’t for them either?

Yes, perhaps a bit too bad-cop. Should you or the OP stop playing? My point is you really have to decide that yourselves - I'm just pointing to the futility of playing a game you know runs counter to what you like and enjoy.

As an example, my GLA is 24 and my MRD is 19. I got everything else to 30 except these two, but why? I had every intention to, but the main reason was the previous cross class system.

My main issue is that you said that it would be easier for you to delevel than to level those classes, when as of 4.0 (with experience buffs) you could get both of those classes to 30 in one or two short play sessions. If delevlling is easier than spending that little amount of time getting those classes to 30 then the problem can't be that important to you.

If you want uniformity simply suck it up and level all the other jobs to 51. If you really need all jobs at 0 then start a new character purchase the story/leveling booster... problem solved.

I can sympathize with you as I have OCD as well but complaining about it is not the answer.

"Suck it up, stop complaining" guy always makes an appearance. Where was OP complaining? They asked a question. Just answer the question and keep it moving.

I can sympathize...I leveled some jobs that I truly didnt want to simply because I wanted that clean profile.

Unfortunately I just might have just did that with SAM/PLD (51/61) so I'll be taking those to 60/70 respectively, because I cant stand to look at my job list like that.

But yes, as most have said, unfortunately there is no way to de-level or reset class progress (although that might be nice if people wanted to re-live/re-learn that story from the start). The only options are to roll a new character or level it to a number that doesn't trigger you.

How so? If deleveling worked like resetting your desythesis level to zero, I go to an npc and buy a tome, and then use it. Done.

Getting both of those classes to 30 involves a few more class quests, updating gear, and running some dungeons or other preferred leveling method. And that's just what getting them to 30 entails and does not even factor my playstyle. I'm not the type to do things half-assed just so I am satisfied with the numbers I look at. I would never level these classes to 30 just to have them at 30. If I ever choose to level them, it would be because I actually want to learn how to tank in this game. So you might want to take that into consideration before assessing exactly how important the problem is to me.

Some things don't always have to be complicated, but sometimes, things are also not as simple as you're making them out to be.

No one cares about your search info and those that do will respect you more for having at least some experience on those jobs rather than seeing a blank space and thinking "He's never played this he doesn't know what he's talking about". Leveling down is silly.

By the twelve, some people argue for the smallest things...

Level up Lancer to 35 and Thaumaturge to 30, so every number is divisible by 5 ^^

But why :?
