I have over 100k guild marks on each DoH I have leveled with guild leves.... Probably something like 300-400k total counting DoW+M. They need to combine them as a single currency and set up a shop that any guild marks work in. Make it an event or something where after 2-3 weeks they are worthless and abolish the whole system.Quote:

I would love some Grand Company seals. As for the conversion rate it doesn't matter but there are items I would enjoy getting and I would love to be the maximum rank but that is difficult to do with only being able to get a maximum 120 marks per leve which takes about 15-20 minutes in its self.
Maybe we could use guildmarks towards the purchase of our player housing. Like the guildmarks are a 1:1 ratio for the purchase, but once you're out of marks you have to pay the remainder of the price in gil.
And/or Guildmarks could buy furnishing etc. for your home.
That being said: I'd like the gil. :P
Also, you can already get all your guildmarks you spent on traits back. Just go to each guild and talk to the NPC. They give you back your spent marks.
First I said gil but now I said guild marks
Unlike a lot of Tanaka's other stupid decisions, I think the Guild Mark system has a place in this game. It was Tanaka's dumb idea to have abilities and traits tied into it - I found that part really really foolish - you reach the level for the skill but you're locked out of the skill until you get the right # of points to buy it? Unnecessary time sink.
However, I do think that the Guild Mark system can be revamped for the better.
I'd definitely go with something like a combination between Mihira's and Catapult's ideas and also the idea about class-specific gear (nothing too powerful, but stuff you can use along the way to level 50) or even vanity items specific to the class (stuff to wear while you're idling in town) as a means of getting you to use Guild Marks. The issue here is, there are players like me that only have a few guild marks laying around, then there's other players that grinded the crap out of guild marks, and I'm pretty sure there's no easy way to satisfy those players.
Maybe consumables that benefit/buff certain skills you use as a particular DoW class, and being able to buy potions or hi-potions for practically "free" would be a good way to allow us to burn off our marks. And yeah, retrofitting the GC system into the GM system would make it a lot more fun too, give yourself titles as you rank up in the guild - make the guild more interactive with your class.
5k guild marks = 1 month game-time.
Should just shut down the game if they're going to be removing every single last thing about the original FFXIV and re-release it later, everyone is going to get wiped anyway.
I want to use guild marks to credit the amount of synths or gatherings I have to redo in order to get my achievements.
I'm a little irked that in order to get the same reward as someone naturally would leveling these classes for the first time, I have to relevel all of them, some in triplicate. Only players who have played for a while should have the guild tokens built up, it would be a nice balanced way of letting early supporters receive their deserved accolades without removing the challenge for new players.
I'd really like to be able to purchase some of the Grand Company gear that I missed out on.
For example, the Lominsan Doublet Vest should be purchasable from let's say the BSM or ARM Guild Mark NPCs, since those Guilds are in LL, using the remaining Guild Marks we have, obv.
