Is the guild mark restriction unreasonable?

I think they will work on the distribution of the Crafting Leves in 1.19
At the end of the day, it's not guaranteed you'll get Marks anyway.
Traveling is a pain right now; but come 1.19 it should be fine.
I think it's a fair additive to make people move out of Ul'dah regularly.

I'm inclined to agree to a point.

The imbalance occurs due to the leve distribution in an area. In Ul'dah, I have a decent amount of r15-r25 leves to choose from yet at the same time I can rarely find any r15 leves for weaver and maybe a couple r20's (take note this was during when my weaver was r16).

Also it has a higher favor towards high level crafters vs low level crafters. Higher level=more leves to choose from that has the potential of giving out marks in your reward. It doesn't necessarily have to be a leve that gives you optimal skill gains as long as you're looking for the marks.

SE could do either of these two things: focus more new leves towards the city-states that have the appropriate guild contained or allow guild marks to appear straight from r1 leves.
