[Dev 1011] Failing Guildleves Intentionally?

[ApplePie]

Leave the sp on the mobs... Give an SP/EXP reward at the end which would be normalized for ALL leves of that level range. Say 10,000sp without any links, then with each link, you can get an additional 5%, max consistent bonus of 35% boost (aka SE's intention of having 8 man parties) and each link after that is only half the bonus percentage. If you take the SP off of mobs, people will just grind on raptors or something else entirely instead of doing guild leves. Also, crafting leves need massive SP bonus to your crafting job once finished.... Leves in general are broken atm. Not to mention the SP required to rank up crafting . . . but that is neither here nor there.

ummm leveling crafts is no harder than leveling battle. the only difference is you level it yourself by making the same sp doing one synth as you do killing one mob in a leve link party as they are now.

if you think anyone would waste their link for 5% you are really missing the point of linking leves. it is a waste to lose 95% of your sp by linking you leve with another. that would do exactly as i pointed out earlier and that is everyone solo their leves then meet for grinding parties later. as it is now you are already losing 40% of your sp by linking.
