I like just about everything I've seen in 1.18.. except the change for guild marks. Maybe it's because I mostly craft, but this feels like a punishment for crafters. Was it not limited enough by the number of local leves available? Now over half the leves that are available will be all but useless.

Let's say you're a rank 25 weaver. There are no R20s in Ul'dah. Oh well, no weaver's guild marks for you - come back in 32 hours.

What is the purpose of this restriction? To make us travel more? Travel is already broken, you don't want to be drawing even more attention to that fact. And that aside, how about futile travel? What if I was in Limsa, and came to Ul'dah simply because I couldn't get weaver's guild marks in Limsa, only to find no leves available?

If I'm missing something, I'm sorry and feel free to yell at me. But this seems such an unnecessary and utterly stupid decision. I'm hoping I'm somehow wrong about it.
