City Specific Guild Marks: do you believe this will help spread out server populous?

One thing that's very intriguing to me is the whole "want guild marks for a class? go to the city with its guild" thing. I understand how it makes sense in the context of the game/story/etc, but in terms of dealing with human players is this meant to be an effective means of providing incentive to go to places besides <insert central meeting ground of your server> (mines ul'dah) O.o?

Simply food for thought, just wondering what you guys think of it! :D

Thanks for input :).

*edit

Have more uses for guild marks been announced that I've missed btw? People seem to have little use for them after looking around forums =/.

Just a start, pretty sure the are gonna add "convenience" to Grid and LL.

I think the answer is YES.

No, there's still no reason to just hang out in in Limsa or Grid. People will just go to Limsa/Grid only if they really have to, then teleport back to Uldah. (Assuming there aren't any further changes. It's possible there's more stuff they haven't told us yet)

Indeed that's the only reason SE is making this change. I also think the guild marks are going to drop just as fast as they are now, which is really fast.

Well, I suppose it might, but I think they will need more. This might give some people incentive to go to to other cities and stay for a bit,but they will need more to get them to stay there in a more permanent fashion.

This is not meant to belittle your current and past posts but quoting yourself in an absolute term like, they need to do this is pretty vain O.o

I hated when my professors in college would reference their publications saying "this is how its done".

However i agree with you lol

As far as I can tell, there aren't very many other viable alternatives that don't involve remaking the game from scratch.

Therefore, "need". As in, "You're running out of time and there really aren't very many other options available".

That's not to say that I intended my statement to mean that my suggestions are not the only way. There are always alternative paths.

Even though you called me a furry in a different post, and couldn't be further from the truth, there is truth in what you speak here.
