GC Ranking?

[RiversideGuy]

Yes, am in a FC... no ranking there either, gotta find out exactly what earns "company credits." I think I'm pretty active (only been plahing 8 weeks, maged to get to 54 & ilvl 116). Yes was talking about the Grand Company (Immortal Flames I'm in). Odd, I ground out enough seals to "promote" myself to the top current rank (Lt. 2) AND I now have 40k of the max 50k seals I can carry.

Hit return too early, went looking at rankings, holy smoke I had no clue one had to seriously overdue seals to rank... the rank 500 monthly guy had over 800k seals! (assume it means collected in this month, not overall)... the 500th weekly guy had 29k collected IN A WEEK!). The top weekly guy had 486k... AND how could either get so many when there is a 50k cap for the top current rank?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I only kept collecting any after getting my Lt. rank because someone told me they will have higher ranks, so wanted to be somewhat prepared. Other than that, not so sure what use seals really have...
