Could we get an option to have a prompt come up at the end of any leve asking if we want Guild marks or Money?
Guild marks are fine early on but I'm having trouble finding leves to do for money. Take for example: Today I went to grab some uldah battle/field craft leves.
I'm a 48 miner and 48 THM and 48 CONJ. Since the patch that changed leve into mostly solo quests, I can't do leves at lower level camps anymore since the SP is not worth it. This leaves me the option of choosing halitali or blackwater for my leves. Unfortunately, 5 out of 6 of the leves being offered rewarded THM marks only.
From experience, the gil reward that comes with leves that reward guild marks is negligible (not even to cover costs associated with craft buffs). Now Guild marks would be fine...if I had something left to purchase. I purchased my last THM ability by rank 30 and since then have accumulated nearly 20k in unwanted guild marks.
Same thing with my mining leves. The only 2 that were being offered at Halitali were rewarding guild marks....which I don't need since I have 84k+ in miner marks...
I understand that I could go to Limsa Lominsa or Gridania and do leves over there, but eventually I'm going to level classes that correspond to the guilds over there as well. That is going to severely cut down on the number of gil leves that can potentially be generated every cycle.
Would it be possible to simply ask the player in a prompt at the end of a leve on whether they would like the guild marks or the gil reward?

I think is good just like is now. I mean, meaby it will annoying ttavelto other city diferent of your guild class. But this will imprvethe spread of player around the world.

As I addressed in my post above, yes I can go to other cities but what happens once I level classes that have guilds in those cities as well? Those cities are going to get guild marks on leves as well and at some point i'm not going to need it, what happens then? S:

Do you really think GM are going to remain useless forever once you obtain all your skills lol? There would be no point in creating the GM concept if they didn't plan on having future expansion on it. If anything I say just stock up your GMs now cause you'll be thanking yourself later when there's a really neat 50k GM ability that others can't get since they decided not to continue saving up lol.

I dont understand. Do you ask what happend when you deide to rank a class in a city where exist a guild of that class? Well is easy. If you wan to do leves whit marauder and gain gils. Dont do LL leves. There still two other citys leves remain for you. Is not enough? If you will be able to choose your reward the "spread of ppl in world" purpouse will banish for bad.

If you buy all the abilities and traits and equipment, all thats left is saving for "future" stuff that may be a year or so down the lane. I have 120k goldsmith marks as an example, I highly doubt anything will cost that much within the next year or so, so guild marks are useless for me as opposed to Gil.Quote:

That means all 3 cities will have chances to generate leves with guild marks.
If I decided to level Lancer, both Uldah and LL will have the chance to generate guild leves for THM and MAR guild marks. Are you telling me to use THM and MAR to do those leves (even if they are maxed out on levels) when the point is I am leveling lancer?
I'm not saying to remove the "you can only receive guild marks in the corresponding guild cities" restriction.
I'm saying regardless of area, IF the leve has a reward of guild marks, give the player an option to receive Gil OR the guild marks for that leve.
Example: I am leveling Lancer. I go to Uldah to do some leves. All the level appropriate leves are rewarding THM guild marks which I have no use for. I pick up the leves, and do them. Since I did not do the leves on THM, I would be rewarded gil instead of the THM marks. (currently you get nothing if you do guild mark leves on another class). -

Ok. I think i understand you now. In example: am pug 50 (uldAh guild) and marauder 50 (LL guild). If i want to do "gil" leves whit a CONJURER i will NOT be able to gain gil (or poor gil) becouse if i go, as conjurer, to LL he leves will reward whit MRD GM, if i go to uldah will gve PUG GM, and if i go to the left ine, gridania will recive conjurer GM. So oportunitys of gain gil through leves will amost disapear
Is that?
I thnk is a concept error. They must to fix it asap -

Exactly, the more classes I level, the more chances that guild mark leves show up meaning that all gil leves will become incredibly rare. Its not a big problem now for myself but I plan on leveling other things which will make fewer gil leves possible.
