Why Eliminate Guild Marks?

[Frolly]

Actually it's really easy to farm marks, just go to the town that has the guild for the class you want marks of and almost 2 of the 5 or 6 leves available for any level range will give you marks.

So if you want lancer marks just go do leves for level 10+ in the black shroud and you'll get some as long as you are lancer. They changed the way getting marks worked a while ago. If you are a Lancer you will only see lancer marks and you will only see the marks if you are in the appropriate town for it.

It's really easy, I've been farming marks on my blacksmith in limsa for a few days now from the lowest level leves. I would already be able to buy stuff with marks if leveling crafting was faster. lol

I've had a /devil/ of a time getting Botanist's guild marks.

Of course, now I won't have to worry about that any more

That reminds me, none of the new recipes from 1.19 required any of the crafting guild mark traits, we should have seen this coming.

I prefer the elimination but what I dont get is why they changed it so you only received marks at the places the guild exists in? What in the world, was the point in doing that work if the plan is to just remove them anyway? Absolute waste of effort lol. Even if it took 1 minute thats 1 minute wasted!

Probably they hadn't made that decision yet at that time. Spec changes a lot, especially in an environment like this game's!

You'll likely receive exp or skills for guild quests.

what will differentiate these major quests with cutscenes and sometimes continuing plots to the untrained eyes?

I don't understand your question. But a fitting reward? EXP? Gear? Anything.

basically we all know about it from back in the day when it actually matter for our class progression, but in the future, what will make a new player go to this particular place looking for story? Gear is mostly disposable, and not going to be that memorable, at 20 30 and 36 (maybe the 36) exp is something that will happen anyway.

Before the quest was a milestone, as well as progression and story, now it will be just another quest which most people ignore, unless they can come up with a really good incentive.

gil worthless
gear is basically gil
exp would be good, if its a large amount, but by the time people realize they have the quest available, they will most likely have passed that level.

In our ul dah centric world, how many archers would visit gridania if the quest was unecessary, how many new lancers would even have heard of the wood wailers?
