Company Seal acquisition rate

[Platinumstorm]

Hi,

After depleting a good chunk of my Grand Company seals I have been working to boost the level that I have. Currently the cap is set to 10,000, but you can only acquire 30 at a time [now that foundation event is done] per GC levequest.

I need about 7000 seals, after already spending a good chunk of time acquiring some so: 15min[7000gc/30gc]
60min

Comes out to about 60 hours.

This seems to go against the "guildleve centric" gameplay, and it also seems to be an anti-casual mechanic, when it has constantly been stated that leves are intended to be a casual mechanic.

It is true that I don't necessarily need to get to 10,000 points, but if the cost of an item of 2500 points, the getting that item means 20 hours of playing in the exact same spot, doing the exact same levequests, and killing the exact same monsters over and over. It is neither a fun game mechanic for a hardcore player, nor for a casual player.

I'd urge the development team to reconsider this masochistic and repetitive method of player advancement, and adjusting the seal rate so players who partake in these Grand Company leves don't find themselves hating themselves as much as hating the leves. Thank you.

I apologize for the awkward capitalization of the title, but I can't go back and fix it.

I definitely agree that the current seal acquisition rate is wayyyyy too low.

Devs need to reprice some of the items available, if they're going to make seals cheaper; for example, Dark matters...

not to mention that u are limited by how many leve slots u have left...it'll take even longer

The current rate of seal acquisition is absolutely terrible, yes. Admittedly there's not much to buy -with- the seals right now, but I'd like a full set of Lominsan patriotic garb, for example, but to get that would take... far more time than I'm remotely willing to take. Really hope they buff this soon.

considering that i have 9k marks, and can still get more from my into the dark quest...i cant agree with how hard it is to get them

HOWEVER for those who cant do that yet i can understand it

Buy a set of the company gear, and you'll be out.

Going to throw in my support for upping the number of seals rewarded, or a steep reduction in item costs.

I recognize that not all the rewards for seals should be freebies, and that some exclusively high priced items are acceptable, but I don't want to continue doing company leves or caravans over and over and over. Imagine what this would do to a new player, who not only has to do guild leves to level, but also company leves to get enough to rank up in the company.

Leves should probably reward close to 150 seals, and a run through Darkhold should reward roughly 200-300. Putting seal rewards on Darkhold would also encourage reruns for people who need it.

yeah, I got 60 notes from a company leve and I'm like "this is all i get?" and then I notice that 60 was double the normal amount.

Then I was like, "WTF?"
