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

[ToxicFox]

I would like to see the exp scrolls be bought with GM instead of GC seals and shards for signing items. Gear would be nice too but make it cost a lot of seals. You guys might even consider adding in a HQ scroll which increases odds of making a HQ or other such scrolls.

[viion]

The problem you have with Gear is that while you might have 200k n can go buy all the gear, someone else might have only 20k and be fk'd over, which is a little unfair.

EXP Scrolls seem like a good way, but seriously it is not hard to level lol. But something that you can buy lots of and use, would be nice I think.

Or if you want to cop out and do the easy route there is always 1Mark = 1Gil because it would then be just like you got Gil from the leve rather than Marks.

[Jashynvald]

I wouldn't call that an easy route. The last thing they're looking to do, from my impressions, is inject more gil into the economy.

I would say 1 Grand Company Seal per 50-70 marks (roughly) would be appropriate and wouldn't influence the economy too much if they don't have an alternative to a currency swap.

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.

I find myself wondering if they are even trying to save the vast amount of squandered potential that lies in guilds. I like that an attempt is being made to save the guild marks, but meshing them together into one system? Really? Does nobody have any love left for the guilds? So much can be done to give players a reason to frequent their guild, but all I see are lackluster attempts to preserve what little presence that remains.

I personally would like to see Guild Marks abolished and have us reimbursed, allowing us to trade for a one-time goodie shop.

This is another small suggestion, open a store for Guild Mark just like Grand Companies and their seals (I am not too fond of this idea).

i originally didnt want seals cause my cap ws 10k and i had 8k. now id like to change my vote to seals. my cap is 25k and i only have 2500.

the guilds have allot of potential. my first choice would have been to leave guilds in game and have them sell gear, items, throwing weapons, food, ect. The GC already do this so i dont know if they decided not to because of the redundancy.

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.

Can we exchange it for better content????

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

I think in the interest of balance, albeit bland seeming, the guild marks should probably be converted into gil. The exchange rate probably closer to something like 5 gil per mark (or 10) (or in line with whatever the going rate is for leves).

UNLESS:
It will be possible for new players to obtain guild marks.

IMO, they should have done it before companies were even introduced. The problem here is that the GCs don't offer anything, aside from weapons, that is specifically designed to benefit a single class. Guilds can accomplish this, thus reducing the redundancy of it. In fact, I would even argue that guilds should do this.

I have a burning desire to have a reason to visit my guild every day (or each leve reset), and have some guild-specific goals I can work towards, be it purchasable items, or random daily guild tasks, which could range from basic leves to dungeons to something akin to faction leves. The possibilities are only as limited as what the game has to offer.

[leomike35]

They could be used to purchase teleport rings and earrings that could tele to each nation. Purchase one in Grid to tele to Gridania etc.. I also like use to get seals idea. Could have countless manuals to ease the pain of crafting for myself. If exchanged for gil that could help but may create more problems.

Or make them part of a new merit system to buy permanent stat increases to further buff and set apart the ppl who played enough to even achieve guildmarks. Would go nicely with the elder lore of our characters being "special" before and during 7th Umbral era one time only storyline.

Would be a nice addition and reward for the early adopters.

[Raagnar]

Between all my classes i have almost 2 million guild marks. I obviously cant get seals unless the conversion rate is horrible, i doubt SE wants to hand over 2 mill in an already flooded economy and im probably not the only one with 1 mill+ marks. So no matter how you spin it im probably going to get screwed over for these marks. Oh well! lol I'll take whatever i get for them, its not like my only reason for doing leves was marks.

With that being said I cast my vote for gil in exchange, preferably 1 for 1.
