[Dev 1011] Failing Guildleves Intentionally?

[Choc]

@ angry - I stopped doing leve parties when I realized everyone does the failing thing. Just doing crafting now.

Not everyone does it, I dont think a single person in my LS has ever even tried this before.

Sorry I didn't mean to overgeneralize, I just meant everyone in my ls and a lot of people on karnak. That was hyperbole, sorry for that. A lot do it though.

I didn't always do it either. I just joined in because just about every other leve completely sucks for SP compared to those select few.

I do not doubt that it does not hurt anyone else. My qualm is that it seems kind of contrary to the spirit of the game

Not to nitpick, but the game, in it's current state and playability, has no "spirit" whatsoever. Pretty much the only thing you can do is grind battles or crafts, or dig up crow feathers and copper ore for hours on end.

You are nitpicking, and what you said doesn't really have any bearing on the topic at hand.

The Guildleve system was built specifically for casual players, and was not -originally- intended to be a system where you fail leves to optimize your SP gain. HOWEVER, this game does not have content for hardcore players, and thus, the guildleve system is the method of choice for grinding ranks. The reason the ability to abandon a leve was added was to cater to these hardcore players.

Once the actual core of the game is fixed, content becomes added, and more options become available, this will obviously become less of a problem.

Now, as it stands, apart from reward/sp balancing, there is NOTHING wrong with the Guildleve system. So instead of grinding on an already over-burdened development team to overhaul/change yet ANOTHER system in the game, how about you just wait until planned fixes are in place which will inevitably fix this issue without requiring the use of any development time on an already struggling game.
