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

[Bled]

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.

Agreed and like i said i also agree with your overarching theme on LL, GR desertion and Uldah migration, especially the bit about social interaction.

When did I ever call you a furry? O.o

Well I feel stupid. Got you mixed up with someone else. Sorry! XP

Ugh. I'm going to bed. Can't read anymore.

[Trocien]

it just means that everybody who does a crafting or gathering class will pick only those that are available in Uldah.


Such a horrible idea putting uldah in the middle. it should be a triangle, with equal distances to jeuno

[Gath]

I hope Grid gets a bit more popular...I prefer the foresty repeats of copy/paste than I like the deserty copy/paste...too much dust in the shoes ;O

[SuzakuCMX]

Yes.

Also, they're going to rebalance the classes so the abilities available to purchase with guild marks should also be seeing revisions.

EDIT: They need to crash the market wards in Ul'dah again and leave them down for a day or two. Then people can disperse to LL and Grid to set up shop there. The only reason I stay at Ul'dah is because that's where the economy is good. Or they could just link the market wards (bad idea seeing as how it's already crashing with just Ul'dah)

[Giant]

Yes, only if they add 'Mail System'

well beings leves will be solo you wont have to drag a party with you to undesirable locations. That said guild marks are nice to have for the "i wonder if ill ever be able to use these" factor, but as of now you quickly run out of stuff to spend them on.

A fix could be to offer marks on more leves and less marks per leve. Like 300-500. Im not saying its a good fix but for people that want them it would keep them busy chasing them longer. The best fix of course would be to give us more things to spend them on. Off the top of my head, potions, items, disposable items that keep you coming back, and class specific gear.

I went off a bit there, sorry.

[Archadius]

Excellent idea to get players out of Ul'dah. 'Nuff said.

[Molly_Millions]

Of course it will help, if players want guild marks from those classes, they'll have to do leves in those cities. The only question is, how much will it help? People will still want a centralized market, and I think that's what drives them to a single city more than anything else.

After patch, the only reason I would ever go to Gridania is to get a certain type of class mark. I would still never hang around there. So, congratulations SE, you just made me set foot in Gridania for a whole of 2 minutes while I grab a guildleve.

There will not be a population surge in Limsa or Gridania until there is a faster, non restrictive method to travel between the cities. It's far too inconvenient right now.
