    Honestly I think they are great... as a side option. The only problem with the system (except for the awkward reset time) is that it was all that there was at launch. Sure now we have quests and NMs to hunt (some of which are IN leviquests) they should never have been more than a just one of many options. Because all in all the system is good.

    Pros: Fast way to level, good for solo or party, never ending (though repetitive) content, unique trade in for better rewards system, and it gives adventurers a center that is great for immersion (before they were just kinda jobless people running around killing stuff but in this game they have a centralized place to look for work).

    Cons: reset timer/leve per day limit, lack of verity (serioulsy, no escort missions, no kill as many as possible before timer runs out or defend the area Leves? Just kill more stuff?), and repetitiveness (in what leve you play).

    Really the system is great, but it could use some creativity and work.

    A few of them are too hard to solo at the same level (Ex: Solo Rank 12 has a hard time solo-ing Rank 10 leves, mostly because of problems with AoE) but the difficulty doesn't scale well enough vs. parties.

    Honestly I think it'll be better after the battle changes since most of the problems right now come from unintended aggro from AoEs or instant death from 8 AoEs.

    I'v Done so many Leve's Just the thought of them makes me want to punch bunny's.

    They just need to be a challenge really. And push players to devlop playing skills to learn
    how to play a roll in a team situation. They don't do this at all

    I find that you can only find parties for Leves when you have some to contribute. Once you have burned through your 8 Leves then it is very hard to join a party to do them as there is always somebody else who has some to increase your SP gain.

    I would like to see SE implement another way to exp, hopefully these new quest hubs could be an addition to this.

    If SE allowed you to do Leves & Quests for exp via solo/group play and they adjust the SP gain for world grinding this game would be far better and keep people playing.

    If you were in charge, how would you change it? To me, i don't see any difference between them and regular quests besides the fact that you can chose the difficulty. It reminds me of daily quests in WOW, except that well they are not daily.

    I hate that you can only do 8 every 36 hours and even more that they are always the same.

    They are a big part of FFXIV. They are one of the main features of the game and i think they should be more important/unique/fun... They need to be a bit more complex.

    What do you think?
    I feel bored of these its alot worser then FFXI first you have get the right leaves becouse people only wanna do some of them the one with high SP then waiting for full party same as in FFXI but here you allready now whats gonna happen becouse you did these leaves 100 times before in same way.

    In FFXI each party was atleast diffrent depending on the jobs the skills of the people you played with where the camp was and so on.

    You could be at same camp 100 times in FFXI and still it was diffrence depending on the party setup and how experienced the players was what equipment they got and if they used food or not.


    Give us fun party play back please.

    I think guildleves are great for quick xp, but I really wish they were not the meat and potatoes of FFXIV. They get very monotonous quite quickly. They aren't very Final Fantasy to me either.

    leves in this game are one of the biggest fails in the game, they like normal garbage grind quests in other games without the awsome maps that have mobs that agro every inch of the maps, and in other games u only do each quest 1time, if u make another toon, u skip most of them and only do some good ones all way to max. in this game it's a brainless thing where setting up the group is the most challenging thing and they expect us to repeat it over and over and over and over and... ok

    no one does regular grind, i say get ride of it or make grinding just as valuable. my static almost has every dow and dom to 50 from just doing leves and it's stupid, and all there is to do after is craft or run around doing mini quests that are the same but all lowbie garbage.

    i suggest getting rid of them completly, cause what i'm invisioning is they expect to keep adding new ones to new crystals and keep calling this new content, erm that is a frickin joke if they do this. i'm sick of them, they not fun. only thing enjoyable is that they are party play, but even then with all the work from them u need a static so u'r not meeting new people either.

    no one completes them so the reward system is useless, only the best ones are done and all the zones are empty. if u don't get them done close to reset time then u'r screwed with hours of shouting and fail to get a group going, but yeah u can go solo it for whatever point there is in that. Bring back the grind!! Get rid of Yoshi the Yes Man he just as bad as tanaka and is taking this game the rest of the way crashing down.

    I would like all leve's in a certain area to be listed when you sign up for them. Also, I think options would be nice as well. Such as reward:SP, reward:Guild Points, reward:Gil. The addition of new leve's would be appreciated and leve's for higher ranks please.

    i'd also like all leves to show up every time, that way no one is abandoning them. also i would love it they get ride of the adventure guild(or just use it for picking up factions if need be, or somehting) let us pick up all the quests at the crystal they are being used at. it skips the process of going there, if u have a static with all the same leves u don't even need go there and saves time and anima( since anima is not enough for any normal player, even the casual) though nother suggestion get ride of anima, just make specific crystals only portable to, basically the ones that set u dead center of everything, rather then if u run u gotta run from 0 on the ruler to 12.

    I would have to agree that Guildleves are pretty boring and I do not care for the long reset on a restricted amount every 36 hours.

    The thing that bugs me I hate the repetitive nature of the leves so much that I avoid groups with people just so I can rush through them as fast as possible as they come off as almost like a job I mean real boring to say the lease.
    Not that I can't party i do enjoy partying when I can if I can find people to party with to leve link or share leves but still its pretty boring and time consuming to get a group gathered assuming i can find people that want to join up.

    Which leaves me a a mental standing that I might as well rush through the leves instead of group up because people tend to tell me how to play a certain way with a certain job in a a guild leve especially ones that are rewarding marks for another job so we can get through it faster.

    Which makes grouping painful to be told what you can do and be rush which in most cases doesn't even allow me to walk away from my computer screen without consequences.

    Not to say I have not had good experience partying but they have been few and far between to say the lease.

    Which in the end I take the sp lost and go by myself to get things done faster and since I can't stand grinding on mobs that give a 1/3 or less sp in most cases that's all I do which makes for a very slow and painful leveling experience, unless I can stomach grinding crafting,gathering grinding or spend a few hours assuming people are at the camps doing behests.

    So while I am very social I find gathering a group up that won't tell me how to play and what to do when I trying to level up while trying to enjoy myself time consuming or at best hard to find.

    While I have found good groups i tend to avoid the headache all together, otherwise I do tend to grow tried of coming back in to the lack luster leves every roughly 36 hours to what feels like a repetitive almost chore like task to try to progressive be it only a bit.
