What do you want done with Guild Marks? Your feedback to developers!

Would you be happy with >
1000 GM (/100) = 10 seals ?
1000 GM (*3) = 3000 gil ?

[Altera]

Not sure what I would want in replacement for my 130.000Thm, and 5000+ other class marks. But GC seals would be nice My crafting classes is still pretty low around lvl 10-20 so I would spend a lot of GC seals on Engineering manuals.

Why not make ra/ex gear for your job class to help crafting, similar to ffxi (gear that gave +1 to skill, not stats; lvl 20 = lvl 21 with the GM body). I even like the idea of crystals or dyes being sold for GM that would 'sign' an item.

I always thought it was very cook my linkshell friends were running around with gear I made, with my name on it.

I really like the idea of turning in marks for exp. My level 42 alch for instance: trade 1000 marks for 100 exp. Sure would help during those tougher stages.

Seals would be good. As it stand now seals take forever to accumulate. Slowly getting them via gc leves for my last promotion. And really a 1 > 1 conversion I could never see them doing as most of us have at least 100k+ guild marks. I know I have over 200k easy and I have only gotten thm and pug reimbursed, nor did I really do alot of leves to get them in the first place so alot of ppl have alot more im sure. A 5 > 1 or 10 > 1 conversion would be ok for company seals and even that would give alot of players more seals than they knew what to do with so they prob would have conversion higher than that.

They could cap the amount of seals u could get and give the rest in gil or something, that would be ok with me too ^^

Stuff you get for GM should not be exclusive ... it would leave new players at a disadvantage as they can never get those items.

GM to seals/gil conversion is fine. On average you get about 2000 GM for a leve, and 100 Seals for a company leve.
So I think a 1000GM > 50 Seals is fair (/20)

But thats the joy of playing right now. Those of us who have been around all this time and up til v2 will be able to ride around town with things that wont be obtainable by new players. So they start it a bit early, no big. Its a nice little reward for those of us who have been loyal thru the not so good and the bad. The primal weapons are exclusive and they will disappear leaving new players at a disadvantage too. Its the way of the game currently.

A system that significantly and exclusively rewards only the "veteran" players further discourages newcomers from joining, seeing as they are at a further disadvantage. If it is for something "special", there has to be an alternative way to get it also. Seals and gil are just a way of reimbursing the time you spent getting marks, nothing really lost.

guild marks > company seals.

a straight 1 for 1 conversion.

got...

10,056 conjurer marks
3,586 lancer marks
5,697 alchemist marks
2.597 botany marks?

then give us 21936 company seals.

people may cry its too many but seriously, with gatherers and crafters manuals, it wont last long.

or give us 50/50 seals and gill. although TBH 1 guild mark should be worth like 100 gill for all the hastle of getting them. (and yes there IS hastle of getting them, go to av guild, chat to npc, navigate sluggish menu's, go to location, nagivate another sluggish menu, kill mobs, nagivate another sluggish menu)

hmm yeah 1 mark should me like 500 gill rofl

I wouldnt mind, problem is I have over 75,000 marks

[Rukkirii]

what about the skills and scrolls we already bought???
hmm

To answer your questions in regards to guild marks refunding:

For things that could only be exchanged for a specific class
It will be possible to get a refund for those marks from the guild of the corresponding class

For things that could be exchanged by multiple classes
It will be possible to exchange for marks of the guild you spoke to (for example, if you were to get Muscle Memory II from the gladiator guild, when you go to have them refunded at the pugilist guild, they will be exchanged for pugilist guild marks)

While we are currently looking into ways in which guild tokens can be utilized in the future, we are planning to make it a shared system instead of separating it by classes.

HOw about class specific gear that actually looks different from any of the gear thats in the game now? I realize that may take a bit longer to do, but for all the time spent having nothing to spend these guild marks on, it would be a cool reward. Maybe gear sets like the type that were used as rewards for assaults in FFXI?
