Lore-wise, leves are state-issued and regulated help wanted adds. Remember that the reason leves were created was to keep this large group of people who were trained in arms and magic returning from a war employed (which in itself was a subtle nod to FF Tactics, as the lack of such is what created the whole mess with the uprising and the Corpse Brigade at the beginning of the game).

The guys in towns and hamlets could have their own daily chores that they'd be willing to pass on to any sucker--I mean, adventurer nearby in exchange for coin and fame.

I'd just rather not see some repeatable quest centric leveling system, that's what leves are and no matter what level or what camp they weren't fun. I'm all for questing, I play for story and fun more than anything else, but again the same story about "The forest is beinng overrun with spiders" done 100 times or 2 to get levels is still repeating.
I agree that repeatables shouldn't be the main focus. And it is also why games l like WoW implement dailies as part of a continuous effort (lore-wise) at the level cap.
