Allow us to buy Sands of Time with Soldiery

Completely off-topic, but i wanted to comment on this. If you have a player or 2 holding your static back, and removing them would end a friendship, that person was never a friend, he/she was a leech. A GOOD friend would realize that he/she is holding other players behind and be more than willing to step down so that their friends can succeed. You say it's caused alot of drama in your fc/ls, and I tell you that they were not worth the drama in the first place. I've stepped down before back in wow for a myriad of reasons(lack of time to play, real life issues, distractions) and never expected to get back into the group. I took a break for a few months, came back, got into another group, and progressed further. If anyone causes drama for others due to THEM not being good enough to clear content, then they're bad and they should feel bad, both as a player and as a person.

All of these posts are so funny, arguing about 110 gear you could have gotten months ago if only you just did ScoB. This is what happens when you wait for the handout gear.

Why do you need 110 gear anyway if you don't do coil? I highly doubt you'll be using all that token gear in new coils considering 95% of you haven't cleared t9 yet, and won't have access to it.

You want the hand out gear? do the hunts. Stop asking for it to be even easier.

This is hilarious.

People complain that hunts are choking out the dungeon aspect of the game yet be damned if they allowed sands to come from Soldiery.

Personally I see no reason why sands aren't buyable with soldiery, especially since they are available with hunts.

2.2 had it right by limiting sands and oil to Second Coil.
Hopefully 2.4 does the same thing, but doesn't back down like 2.3 did.

Sands of Time for 2000 Soldiery, why not

People are complaining that paying roughly 400 sol is a bad thing? You can only get 450 a week. So you'll only be able to purchase one sands-of-time with it. Opposed to the no limit of daily grinding hunts via allied seals?

Or did I get the reasoning wrong on why people think it's a bad thing? /confused

You would get 2 sands weekly (ST will also drop sands soon)
Best would be for 2000 soldiery. 1 sand weekly from ST and 1 sand monthly from soldiery.

Not Sands but something to spend soldiery on. Mats maybe.

Because it's worth stating again; you can already get Soldiery from Hunts. It is highly unlikely they will remove Sands as a purchasable item. I see no logical reason why not allow it to be buyable with Soldiery.

If done, people can, if they choose to, run dungeons again instead of going against, or being a part of, the horde. Dungeon queues come back down, and the forums find a new "FFXIV is ruined forever!" topic.

And my final contribution before sleeping:

Maybe like 375 Sol for one? Got nothing else to use it for really. Hate having to be forced to spend it because of cap.

The cap that somebody put in yo' ass for not spending your soldiery? I'm failing to see why you're either forced to spend it or even cap it if you don't need any of the gear. You can bet if I only had one job at 50 I wouldn't bother capping soldiery anymore. I mean, really. You don't have to do it! Nobody is forcing you!
