WHY stay there? So you don't have to waste your precious Anima returning there the next time you need to do more leves for guild marks. And you can always run around and fight mobs in the areas around Gridania and Limsa Lominsa, there's nothing to force you to do that in Ul'dah. Get the other players in your LS together to join you exploring other cities, and you may find things to do outside of Ul'dah. And it should take more than an hour to do your leves for guild marks, unless you're only doing 1 or 2 leves. You can take up a craft that is centered in that city also (and crafting takes up a lot more time, if you grind through it)
