    <devs> Grand Company Supply/Provision Quotas

    Hello SE devs,

    Can we please remove the quotas from supply/provision missions, or massively increase them? For the third week in a row I have logged in only to find the items already completely maxed out. For instance, this week in Ul'Dah for the fishing item Crimson Crayfish was chosen. Between me and a friend, we have enough Crimsons laying around to easily max that out, much less compete with an entire server.

    The quotas may have worked decently the first few weeks, but now that people are getting an idea of what might be up to cash in, it's just turned into a game of who can camp the NPC when JP midnight hits and screw everyone out of seals.

    Not alone here:

    Update:
    I've read a couple posts saying this week the requested items reset back to the same values as week 1 (Chart). If this is true (and assuming the weeks follow order) people will be able to load up for an entire week then camp the NPC knowing exactly what he'll want upon reset. The problem is already bad, this is just going to make it a million times worse.

    If they increase the quota though, you're going to potentially have issues reaching the cap on some items and then it'll be difficult to unlock the additional item for some weeks. Because of that, I'm torn whether or not I want them to actually increase the caps; if they do, I hope they find some other way to allow the extra item to unlock.

    I agree with this post 100% but, until it's fix if it gets fix i suggest to start putting a spread sheet together of what each thing offers, and take note till it repeats or who knows one may already be out their for you to pick info and add too. Also Supply/provision missions always change Sunday in America @ JP 12:00 a.m. so if you already know what is gonna be next or already have that set your alarms and be their first. The early bird gets the worm. Like is said tho On Point of the topic above I completely agree with the above statements and especially when the server merge happens.

    Except there's no way to know ahead of time what is going to pop up. That Google Doc is simply a list of ALL the weeks of GC Supply and Provision so far. It has never reset so far.
