    If not lower the seals at least steepen the difficulty. By a lot.
    A few things I think should be remembered which makes this a little more difficult then it might appear:
    1) You do have to find people in your same grand company, so you can do this (at the rate you are saying)
    2) To qualify for the weapon you do have to pay a lot of seals to get the promotion so you can buy it
    3) The weapon is not 'that great' the moment you want to use it for any really challenging dungeon (since you die you loose sanction)

    But I think the biggest equalizer is that to get the 3k seals/hr, you need to have 8 good people all of the same grand company. Which may not be the easiest thing for a lot of people to get together. Some people are fortunate to have a lot in their company, some not so much.

    On a side note:
    If you did 5-man DH run in 30 minutes, you would probably get about 1500 seals per person. After about 2-3 hours you would have enough to buy the same weapon.

    So in this sense there is some balance (no need for same grand company, just need 5 good people who know it well).

    I just thought I'd add my $.02 here. IMO the GC weapons kick ass! nothing beats the dps on the Flame Sergeant's Axe with sanction. All you need to keep sanction up on every fight for Garuda for example is to set your hp at the Inn in the city of your grand company, and the other at dragonhead. Every time you wipe, return to your GC headquarters (do not get raised), get sanction for free, return to dragon head and run to the Garuda cave, rinse, repeat. Oh yeah, it helps to not die until the end of the fight.
