After reading this all I heard was "Its ok guys we designed this to suck from the very beginning". Make sanctions timer decrease with each death and/or allow camp guards to recast it on you. If you don't want GC weapons to out do other weapons then don't make the crazy bonuses huge but have the downside of almost never being active. Most Players want consistency out of items.

Hey, here's a thought: DON'T DIE if you want your bonus to last. Problem solved.

Would you like an Ifrit weapon for every 5 losses too? If it was too easy, people would complain about that too. I think challenging aspects to a game make it stronger.

Devs, there are some people out there who 1) trust you and 2) will try things out for a couple of weeks before we judge them. Stay strong!

My suggestion is make sanction last 3 hours and persist through death but make it only 3 hours and have a 24 hour cooldown real time before you can get again. Also make it were to renew sanction on item cost 1000 seals.

I actually like the death penalty, I think the weapons are too op for them to be purchased so easily with seals. the death penalty is a nice compromise.

Want consistency? Don't die or don't get signet. Better playing styles should be rewarded in some way. I guess if you die a lot that counts as consistency, don't even need signet. But a signet that lasts for an extremely long period of time, with little benefit, and no risk of losing is just pointless. May as well just mix the bonus in with sleep buff or something. Let SE give the thing some purpose.

It's good to hear that they are aware of the limitations of sanction and are thinking of alternatives. I like the ideas that the devs have mentioned because they allow for opportunities to increase the playability of the sanctioned items (which really aren't very good without sanction).

Thanks for the replies Bayohne and Camate!
