making gear specific to jobs you can buy would be very unfair to those who dont have the guild makrs since you cant get them anymore
That's why the suspension and use of marks is listed as temporarily suspended until they figure out how they want to proceed. If they were going to add in a long term use for marks as opposed to a one time trade in they would have to start issuing marks again. They could do something like they did in XI where you trade in a requested item in exchange for marks, or they could just go back to issuing them from leve.

If they do a one time trade in don't expect more than 1 - 3 gil per mark. That would be in line with the amount of gil you would have gotten from the leve in place of marks. If they trade in for GC seals you could loose all the seals above your GC seal cap unless they let you go over cap. I have like 400k carpenters marks so that would be a bummer.

A long term use for crafting marks would be a nice addition to the game like it was in XI, but since crafters already get wearable gear it probably makes more sense to make it something for housing when it's introduced. I suppose they could do accessories like rings and necklaces for crafting, but I'd rather see those as NM drops.
