Yoshi P... Devs... Whoever... Many of us currently have a plethora of Unused Guildmarks that once we reach a certain stage really have no use or value. With a good portion of the game geared towards Leves Factions etc. Why not extend that system further and allow us to spend Guildmarks on BCNM similar to Beast Seals in FFXI.

BCNM were fun challenging fights with good rewards that a majority of the FFXI community loved to do as a way to kick back and get some good group based content. I feel this would be a most excellent way to kick off the new battle system as well as get some good fun group based content into the game which is something people have been yearning for.

BCNM battle were awesome for content because you could start doing them at various levels, 40-75, and every 10 levels or so you could unlock better BCNM. as I said before they were short challenging fights with good rewards they really brought LS communities together, plus 4-8 man battle BCNM would really fit in well with your current programming direction.
