I'm interested in doing PvP. I'm not interested in trying to get myself and my friends to decide on what GC to join that some of us will likely need to rank up in again in order to do levequests if we're working on books, and we won't be able to use GC gear anymore, and we'll need to farm seals all over again if we buy anything with them.


The short of it is, the GC restriction is terrible. Why not just randomly assign people/parties a GC to represent when they queue up, but keep the rewards specific to the GC they're currently in? Lore wise, the GCs are still fighting each other, and queue wise, the gaps can more easily be filled. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in XI ballista, couldn't someone from Sandy represent team Windy (since it wasn't a three way battle)? Why not just apply similar logic here?
