Why Eliminate Guild Marks?

[Airget]

Guild Marks are actually a neat concept to obtain more customization for you class so I find it kind of strange that you plan on getting rid of it with the next update. When it comes to the introduction of new jobs I felt that perhaps you could use your Guild marks to obtain special job abilities for those jobs rather then all at once or through leveling.

Also if you consider keeping the cap at 50, Guild Marks offer a way to obtain new abilities without having to lift the level cap or place them somewhere around 1-50. If you were to keep abilities as they are now and then add to what can be learned by a class it would help prevent newcommers being overwhelmed by a wide range of abilities and once they understand the basis of their class they would be able to invest Guild marks into the abilities that they feel fit their playstyle.

By just having it all be level based I think it takes away from the overall characterization that can be done with your character and it really takes away a part of depth that could've been expanded on greatly. I hope you might reconsider taking away Guild Marks and implement it ina manner that can work with the Job system as well as a means to obtain abilities that are always being added to the list of Guild mark abilities.

I feel the same way. Guild marks should definitely stay imo but Yoshi's got a plan, let's see what happens. So far he's only done good! I'm all up on faith right now.

Is it really customization? Can't speak for others, but I always get them all anyway, and have marks to spare.

To some point it is. It's just that after hitting a certain level getting guild marks is quite easy and most people end up in the "I have them all" situation like you.

Instead of taking them out, they should add class-specific items or why not! Leves or something.

It's definitely not customization for all intents and purposes since some skills are definitely worth getting, while people seem to detest the idea of grinding, they forgot that all the time they spent getting Guild Marks for traits and skills is indeed a grind and was indeed meant to artificially extend your playtime, which people seem to hate MMOs doing.

Customization? You mean reset leve offers so that you can easily farm the guild points you need, and get all GP abilities? That's not really customization, it's just extra grind. I'd much prefer not having to pass on the guild point leves, and having more gil rewards offered.

The potential for customization is there, but unless it requires more than just leves, which are extremely easy solo content, then it's not really customization. Everyone will have every ability eventually.

What I'm more worried is that with Guild Mark gone, Guild Quest is also gone...

That makes no sense...

[Physic]

That makes no sense...

actually i wonder about this as well, before the purpose was primarily for guild marks and access to the next guild teir, but now? will it even continue to exist? uhhhh

[MariyaShidou]

That makes no sense...

Because the biggest purpose right now for Guild Quest, is unlocking Abilities for purchasing with Guild Marks. Level up = new abilities, then you don't need Guild Quests. Tbh, I rather enjoy many of the Guild Quest story lines and they are still not resolved yet.
