What do you want done with Guild Marks? Your feedback to developers!

Why not make ra/ex gear for your job class to help crafting, similar to ffxi (gear that gave +1 to skill, not stats; lvl 20 = lvl 21 with the GM body). I even like the idea of crystals or dyes being sold for GM that would 'sign' an item.

I always thought it was very cook my linkshell friends were running around with gear I made, with my name on it.

I really like the idea of turning in marks for exp. My level 42 alch for instance: trade 1000 marks for 100 exp. Sure would help during those tougher stages.

Seals would be good. As it stand now seals take forever to accumulate. Slowly getting them via gc leves for my last promotion. And really a 1 > 1 conversion I could never see them doing as most of us have at least 100k+ guild marks. I know I have over 200k easy and I have only gotten thm and pug reimbursed, nor did I really do alot of leves to get them in the first place so alot of ppl have alot more im sure. A 5 > 1 or 10 > 1 conversion would be ok for company seals and even that would give alot of players more seals than they knew what to do with so they prob would have conversion higher than that.

They could cap the amount of seals u could get and give the rest in gil or something, that would be ok with me too ^^

Stuff you get for GM should not be exclusive ... it would leave new players at a disadvantage as they can never get those items.

GM to seals/gil conversion is fine. On average you get about 2000 GM for a leve, and 100 Seals for a company leve.
So I think a 1000GM > 50 Seals is fair (/20)

But thats the joy of playing right now. Those of us who have been around all this time and up til v2 will be able to ride around town with things that wont be obtainable by new players. So they start it a bit early, no big. Its a nice little reward for those of us who have been loyal thru the not so good and the bad. The primal weapons are exclusive and they will disappear leaving new players at a disadvantage too. Its the way of the game currently.

A system that significantly and exclusively rewards only the "veteran" players further discourages newcomers from joining, seeing as they are at a further disadvantage. If it is for something "special", there has to be an alternative way to get it also. Seals and gil are just a way of reimbursing the time you spent getting marks, nothing really lost.

I would like to see the exp scrolls be bought with GM instead of GC seals and shards for signing items. Gear would be nice too but make it cost a lot of seals. You guys might even consider adding in a HQ scroll which increases odds of making a HQ or other such scrolls.

[viion]

The problem you have with Gear is that while you might have 200k n can go buy all the gear, someone else might have only 20k and be fk'd over, which is a little unfair.

EXP Scrolls seem like a good way, but seriously it is not hard to level lol. But something that you can buy lots of and use, would be nice I think.

Or if you want to cop out and do the easy route there is always 1Mark = 1Gil because it would then be just like you got Gil from the leve rather than Marks.

[Jashynvald]

I wouldn't call that an easy route. The last thing they're looking to do, from my impressions, is inject more gil into the economy.

I would say 1 Grand Company Seal per 50-70 marks (roughly) would be appropriate and wouldn't influence the economy too much if they don't have an alternative to a currency swap.

[syntaxlies]

I personally would like to see Guild Marks abolished and have us reimbursed, allowing us to trade for a one-time goodie shop.

This is another small suggestion, open a store for Guild Mark just like Grand Companies and their seals (I am not too fond of this idea).

i originally didnt want seals cause my cap ws 10k and i had 8k. now id like to change my vote to seals. my cap is 25k and i only have 2500.

I find myself wondering if they are even trying to save the vast amount of squandered potential that lies in guilds. I like that an attempt is being made to save the guild marks, but meshing them together into one system? Really? Does nobody have any love left for the guilds? So much can be done to give players a reason to frequent their guild, but all I see are lackluster attempts to preserve what little presence that remains.

the guilds have allot of potential. my first choice would have been to leave guilds in game and have them sell gear, items, throwing weapons, food, ect. The GC already do this so i dont know if they decided not to because of the redundancy.

IMO, they should have done it before companies were even introduced. The problem here is that the GCs don't offer anything, aside from weapons, that is specifically designed to benefit a single class. Guilds can accomplish this, thus reducing the redundancy of it. In fact, I would even argue that guilds should do this.

I have a burning desire to have a reason to visit my guild every day (or each leve reset), and have some guild-specific goals I can work towards, be it purchasable items, or random daily guild tasks, which could range from basic leves to dungeons to something akin to faction leves. The possibilities are only as limited as what the game has to offer.
