[dev1080] Those who defeat Ifrit in a party formed exclusively of members from...

[Estellios]

Sorry, but I only like to do events with LS because they are skilled. People who only do pick up often are not skilled nor team players. Otherwise they'd have a LS or event group of their own.

Some people just don't like having to "pledge" to a group, so to speak.

Edit: Oop... i missed that "often".

When everyone from same company you get bonus as well as when you have 3 different countries grand company members

I really like the idea of having greater rewards for parties with members of the same GC.
Makes people have the feeling they belong to a big family in the Grand Company!

i think the problem everyone facing is that your closer family, aka LS/friendlist, kinda get left out of the loop if the 'rewards' are something very exclusive.

Except that there are other rewards that they can still get by choosing different companies from the others, and that eventually you will be able to join whichever one you want. Seriously, people are making a mountain out of a molehill.

People really wont care if its some small extras. It's just that people think that if its something big, then people are all going to flock to one company OR shun others when deciding to create a party for Grand Company based instanced fights/activities.

...their own Grand Company will earn greater rewards.

Can we please have specifics on this? This has the potential to cause a lot of problems for existing link shells whose members join different Grand Companies. For instance, I'm insistent on joining The Maelstrom, many others considering Order of the Twin Adder, and I'm sure there will be some black sheep in The Immortal Flame. Are we talking extra gil, or increased Grand Company currency? If so, no biggie. Unique/increased drop rate on equipment? That could cause a problem.

Completely agree, made my own flame thread about this top.

Just posted in the other threads:

From the Japanese patch notes:

なお、「イフリート討伐戦」では同じグランドカンパニーメンバーのみで構成されたパーティで挑むと報酬にボーナスが追加されます。

That's the sentence about better rewards everyone's talking about.「イフリート討伐戦」 is the part that's over the r30 Ifrit fight. No where in that sentence does 真イフリート討滅戦 appear, which is the part over the r50 fight. So, I think it's safe to say that the reward difference is only for the low-level version.
