    Why? Seals drop like candy. It's unnecessary. He doesn't want gil, he wants creepy trinkets held by every monster in the world.

    Ehh, as long as that whole 4m30s drop restriction exists on seals (which as far as I know has never been lifted), I would never really say that this is true.

    Plus depending on what it is that you do in the game, a good number of the seals you get will not be the kind you want, which just cuts your effective "drop rate" by up to a potential 1/3. Additionally, if you're not solo, all of the seals won't be dropping to you either, potentially cutting the "drop rate" again by up to another potential 1/6.

    I don't know if I would support just being able to buy the orbs with gil, but I do think some easing of the system is warranted.

    I agree, the system is a bit outdated that could be looked into.

    This is true...but that 3 for 1 crap needs to be 2 for 1 on a permanent basis and not some sort of event exclusive.

    We have no plans to make adjustments to the system where players purchase orbs from Shami.

    I'd love to see a system that allows more areas with NPC's of cities to purchase these orb's or seal orbs other then just being locked to one whole entire location in the game, That it's onry Port Jeuno, specially since we are widely spread out all over Vana'dial these day's Grekumah.

    Well if nothing else adding them to one of the Adoulin area sides if they can, like East or West. Well maybe aht uhrgan. Man!~I could go on about all kinds of places or cities they'd be good to be added to too!

    I actually agree w/ this here. I mean come on, going to only 1 area to buy orbs w/ seals is kinda inconvenient. But having more npc's that sell the orbs for seals helps.

    As for the purchasing orbs for gil idea, i'm w/ Grekumah on this 1.
