So I wondered about Grand Company standings and was told it was a measure of the seals you acquire... well, I did make it to Second Flame Lieutenant, so I'm not unfamiliar with their acquisition. Needless to say, being new, when I looked at the standings I had a WTF moment. So they list the top 500 by weekly and monthly. Looked at the weekly. Get this... the top standing person got almost 70k seals EACH day for the 7 that make up the weekly. The 500th person was more reasonable at 4135 per day. Per day.

Uh, according to what is shown to me in the game, there is a cap at 50k for my rank... which is currently the highest one attainable. How does one amass close to half a million seals in the space of 7 days... must less over 30 days, the other time period for the "standings," given a 50k cap?

As for acquisition, how many hours does it take to collect almost 70k EVERY DAY? At 4k/hr, that's 17.5 hours.

Oh, the data is just my realm, just my GC. All worlds, all GCs show the top weekly standing going for something like 750,000. IN A WEEK!
