Grand Company Ranks

To be totally fair, even if you could take an entire NPC squad into dungeons with you I doubt they would be faster than a party of real players. It's a valid concern though. I'm curious what the intent for this feature is.

Well currently we have seen enough of npc play throughout the game and frankly it's very limited but it's not good or bad. But the interesting thing is that they could make the npcs play better but it's not necessarily a bad thing, this is a npc to start with, they already have skills/items we do not. I mean Jehantel has Voice of Valor which allows him as a BRD to heal and Sidurgu had some healing potion that was pretty powerful so he can heal. So if they made the platoon play like the job mentors, they wouldn't be able to do anything on the scale of a actual player in a group of 4 or 8. But they would have a substantial amount of power that would make playing with a group of them very interesting.

hmm i remember already seeing new grand company gear so it might not be that far off

I find it pretty odd that they are taking this long to remove the cap on the GC rankings, I would have figured they done it when the first expansion (Heavensward) came out.
