Yes it is! At the end of the patch notes SE tells people to "Go to [thread] to post complaints on how we have failed you and this game isn't living up to your expectations because it's not designed solely around what you believe to be correct".

It says that, go look.

No, it's not like that at all.

It's about the rank system. It has absolutely nothing to do with gil.

Your analogy is not applicable.

I'm ok with the direction they took. Given said that, I'm a little bit surprised about the amount - for some reason I wasn't expecting to see 1k or 1.5k seals needed to rank up; I was thinking an amount near 500 or so.

I was thinking the amount of seals to rank up would be much higher... like 5,000. Very little will need to be done to get max rank.

Just go do 450 escorts and you will be highest rank. Stop ya whining.

This is a good thing because it means all those players that complain about having nothing to do, when there actually is stuff to do, will be forced to try out the other content if they want to efficiently go up the ranks...

Plus if they added a new point system, they'd need to add new content and new ways of obtaining those points. I'm not saying new content is a bad thing, but think how much longer we'd have to wait! =O

Yea, I don't have too much of a problem with this. It's one less thing to keep track of. I guess they could have required you to do X caravan missions, Y levels and Z hamlet defenses before advancing you. Things that you would earn seals for doing anyway.


Now what I wouldn't mind is if higher ranking GC members earned slightly more seals per mission. A pay raise of sorts.

SE already said a long time ago that GC ranks would be "bought" with company seals.

Considering that the amount of seals you earn correlate directly with how many GC activities you complete, I see no problem here.

people dont care whats been said or how it works

all they care about is that they spent all their marks already and now they actualy have to earn more to get promoted the hard way because they didnt pay attention or save.

I agree with you on this one Jennestia. Like'd.
I don't see why it couldn't be based on how many GC Leves , and quests for that GC.

This feedback won't change in any upcoming patches, so time to grind out 1k more seals before the patch.
