I think this has been hit on before many times, but I'd like to bring it back to the attention of the Development Team.
Coalition Imprimatures take WAY TOO LONG to replenish. Every SIX hours is too much of a wait, especially when you have to spend ~20 to increase your standing in any coalition by one rank. The wait is terrible and doubly so when you're trying to reach "Legend" rank at 6/6 coalitions to even start the Ergon Weapon quest.
I think it's more than fair to ask the time to replenish imprimatures to be GREATLY reduced (at least by 50%) or to need less than 20 to increase your standing (15 is slightly more reasonable).
I'm not sure why this wasn't one of the boons granted by any of the new Rhapsodie KI, but it seems like a gargantuan oversight. When the "Rhapsodie in Azure" does ALL of this:
Dynamis
-Removal of the lockout on reentering Dynamis.
Assault
-Reduction of the amount of time between issuance of imperial army I.D. tags to ten minutes (Earth time).
Salvage
-Reduction in the time limits between purchasing remnants permits to one hour (Earth time).
Einherjar
-Reduction in the cost of purchasing smouldering lamps to 1,000 gil.
-Reduction of the lockout on participating to one hour (Earth time).
I expect the new (and final) Rhapsodies to address something like imprimatures... especially when "Rhapsodie in Azure" benefits people wanting to make Relics or Mythics so much.
Please, please, please do something about this for the December version update. I'd like to START my Ergon Weapon quest before the servers shut down 6 months from now. It almost takes an entire month to jump from "Petitioner" to "Legend" and there are 6 coalitions. In what world is it fair to force players (who want to try to complete an Ergon Weapon) to wait ~6 months before they can even begin the quest?
Ways to fix this:
1) Substantially reduce the time it takes for imprimatures to replenish. [OR]
2) Reduce the amount of imprimatures needed to increase your rank. [OR]
3) Change the system to make all the imprimatures unique to any particular coalition... as in each coalition has it's OWN pool of imprimatures.
Sorry for the rant but this is just ludicrous.
