Grand Company Supply/Provision Quotas

[Meatdawg]

A system with a static timer that never changes was never going to work.

If you have plans Sunday at 10am est then your screwed on your supply chances for the week~ (With the easier turn ins)

There is about 100 people camping the turn in NPC and it increases each week.

This just rewards the hardcore and is a big FU to the casual player.

Fabul server Maelstrom Filled 5,000 Yew branches in about 5 minutes today. ARrrrrrr!

[Myrhn]

Except there's no way to know ahead of time what is going to pop up. That Google Doc is simply a list of ALL the weeks of GC Supply and Provision so far. It has never reset so far.

It just reset to week 1 today

They could put a cap on how many items you can turn in every 24hr.

[KumaAkuma]

Items reset to 0 after a maintenance, but the item type remains.

They could put a cap on how many items you can turn in every 24hr.

This is what they need to do, end of story.

Much to my joy, I've been saving up those walnut logs for months!

[Raldo]

Sigh, I had 1,000 Yew Branches saved up and all 5,000 were filled by the time I had checked--a mere 1 hour after the change.

Like clockwork every week, there's somebody that complains about the quotas. Not that they're unfounded in their grief over this system.

I understand that they wouldn't be buying infinite amounts of whatever they're looking for this week but the devs could probably decrease the seals given from turning in equipment and increasing the quota for that. If one is to make it another material-sink, then they haven't gone far enough in adjusting the numbers. Some more variety in the supply/provision (especially supply) quotas wouldn't hurt either.

OR maybe they can change the item requested more than once a week? Even if they increased the quotas by double, remember 5,000 yew branches were submitted in 5 minutes.

Quotas don't need to be changed, but there is a "bonus" item system already up. So when the quota for an item is filled just remove that item and request another. When that is filled remove that one and request another. That way the quotas remain (so that people can't get infinite seals for one item) And the supply/prov remains available so that people aren't completely locked out.
