How is that any different from fame?

well for one i was able to participate in fame from each region, i only have one grand company..

two there was a lot more involved in gaining fame then just farming some stupid seals and getting one quest, they are sort of the same but gaining GC ranks is currently a pretty lame system. If they could somehow put the two together and improve on the original idea, that would be great.

As for Zenaku's point, I agree, howcome its ok to ask for ideas from every other game EXCEPT FFXI????? They are both from the same freaking company... FFXI at one point was 10000000000000000000000 times better then this garbage minus the graphics. I personally DO NOT like Wow so i'm likely not going to make any suggestions based on that game. Never played Aion, Rift, but i did play a few of the free Korean games. Nothing else i've played ever compared to FFXI.

So, why not instead ask for more quests and missions pertaining to GC?

The vast majority of suggestions come from FFXI because the vast majority of players who play FFXIV have only played FFXI. I have also critiqued suggestions coming from Aion and WOW. There just aren't any.

yeah well however the devs decide to read my post, i don't really care as long as it aids in a better system then what we currently have.

i don't really care

Yeah, it shows. Maybe next time you want to put in more than 30 seconds of thought into a suggestion before making a topic.

howabout 31 seconds, is that acceptable?

The fame system in XI was also linked to advanced jobs. For example, Norg fame. This was kind of a nice kicker (in hindsight) because it kind of gave you a dinky timesink.

I need Utsusemi...DAMMIT...necklace farming time!

exactly. it wasn't simply "talk to these 12 people with ! on your map in the next 30 minutes and then come back and get your Utsusemi scroll", it was more like, you don't have enough fame so GTFO there and get more before I give you anything!

um....it was turning in 5000 of an item to gain fame, you call that involved? HELL NO it wasnt

it was one of the most horrible grinds ive ever seen in a game, worse then exp grinding


lets look at the company system, you can do tons of stuff(including turn ins) to get your points up to rank up and buy items and get new quests, not just 1 quest you gotta repeat 100 times just so you can do a single, or if your lucky 2 new quests that uinlock stuff later

ok so you took the easy way out by trading cabages, it doesn't mean everyone did and it doesn't mean that's what i'm asking for. BTW all you have to do in this game is run toto rak over and over and over and trade in the items, whats the difference? The difference is different fame levels in 11 and what they lead to. GC leads to very little in this game.. silly chocobo gear! woooo.........
