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

[viion]

I believe Rentahamster and that this Guildmark will not have a significant impact, sure if you need the marks. But a lot of characters dont (trust me), and even if you do you get 6k for your first rank 20 then you leave until 30, come back do couple leves get ur 8k, then leave, come back at 40, get ur rank 40 one then go back to Uldah and never return.

People dont like Grid because of the design of the map, no matter how much you force us down the only way to have us play there is run a bull dozer over it. Similary for the Limsa map, plus limsa is way out the way.

People also limited by transport, come Airships people probably expand more out because its easy, they dont have to waste anima nor run the 30 min journey from Limsa to Uldah. Or an hour to get to grid from Uldah.

Like I said earlier, the liking of the cities are a personal choice. You might not like Grid but I do. I don't really like the Black Shroud area but the city itself I like it. Nevermind that the layout is not optimized to have everything accessible at 5 steps of one another.

Also, when is the last time you went from Ul'Dah to Grid? Because it doesn't take an hour, the lack of diversity in the scenery might make it seem longer but really it's about 30min.

Meh just think of Grid as Windurst from FFXI... (basically that's how I looked at FFXIV Grid=Win, Limsa=Bastok, Uldah=Sandoria)
In future if they add teleport NPC to make you move faster between areas of the cities the issue gets resolved + if they add housing within the city being able to choose the exit like FFXI.

Personally I like how Gridania looks and feels, I like all 3 cities in different ways... Only problem with Grid is the stupid Black Shroud map...

Is it 30min? That long ass passage ways in Black Shroud makes it feel so damn long... and feeling oh I passed this place again doesn't help either... w

It isn't a matter of choice of how it looks, its how its laid out. Everything in Grid is well a Grid, linear. Im talking mainly about Blackshroud, so I apologize for not being correct with terms. Grid the city is wonderful and nice, but Blackshroud is nasty.

Also I did not say Grid to Uldah took 1 hour, read my comment. I said 30 mins from limsa to Uldah then another 30 making Limsa to Grid an hour.

Also I did this, I even went further:

It is a 30m trip between each "Nation", Grid > Uldah 30m, Uldah > Grid, Grid > Ishgard.

Oh for that you have my whole hearted agreement that the Black Shroud is not very appealing and might discourage people from establishing themselves in Gridania, I was talking about the city itself which I find nice myself but you corrected yourself. Even with the boring Shroud, I'd still go there if the wards were linked, I rather have a boring linear forest than a boring linear desert (disguised as an open field area...)

Ohhh and sorry I read Ul'dah to Gridania took 1hr, which might feel like 1hr but didn't think it took more thank 30min (which you confirmed now ) But yeah from LL to Grid, it's quite a ride lol.
