Signet <Can I have it?>

Reminds me of the guardian aspect you get temporarily with level quests.

The fact is that it's a pointless formality you have to go through in order to do it.

... It takes like two seconds.... I never got it all the time in ffxi, it's really not a big deal. Look how many ways you could get points on that game. I don't see the big issue here.

What % of people are fine with not receiving benefits when they could ?

I'm still waiting for a good argument ("it will become second nature" isn't one), because I personally would hate to have to port back to town when I log on or while in the middle of farming/gathering since I need those precious seals.

I'm sorry, but it's one of the least efficient suggestion I've seen yet.

You wouldn't port back to town, I know I won't until I have a reason to go back to town...... -.-

Also, they would probably make it available at the camps.... sooo either way.... You don't have a good arguement.

It's just how MMORPG gamers have changed over the years, if talking to an NPC in your daily routine is a problem then nothing will ever be seen as efficient to some people, even if they slapped it into a menu option I'm sure those against this will still find a problem with that.

He likely played it but played it in such a way his only reason for being in a town was to gain signet. The funny thing is, between all linkshells I've been in from 2002 - 2012 not one person complained about having to go to town to refresh signet/sanction/sigil -- not even on forums. People did complain that the duration in general was too short for sanction though because the benefit versus duration was heavily unbalanced until you were top rank in Assault.

Yes.

Honestly, I'm just asking to be convinced. Still haven't seen one single advantage. I didn't hate signet because FFXI was all about forming xp parties in town, but can't understand why FFXIV would need it.

I just don't see the point of adding a pointless formality when there are 999 better options out there.
