Do you never read dev quotes?

Hey gang,

I'd like to give some background on the current spec of "losing sanction upon death." The bonus added with sanction was designed to be very potent. In order to balance this, the concept of sanction is to limit the effect duration to three hours and to take a risk that it will be removed if you’re defeated. With that said, we do not currently have any plans to make adjustments so that the effects of sanction remain active when you die.

However, we are currently looking into making it so sanction can be received in places other than your respective Grand Company when certain conditions are met, or implementing an item that will give you sanction via exchange of Grand Company seals.

Please keep the feedback coming!

There has been a bit of progress on the aforementioned sanction adjustments that I would like to update you all on.

Currently it is only possible to receive sanction from the Grand Company counter you are a part of, but in patch 1.22b we will be making it possible to receive the effects of sanction from the other Grand Company counters that you do not belong to after completing a special quest.

We are still continuing to look into items that will imbue you with the effects of sanction and will be sure to let you know of any updates on that front as well.
