Regional inspired housing furniture items (Garlmald,Ishgard,Thavnir) glamour costumes, unique emotes. Just think the over world needs more work outside of fates would be nice.

Regional FATEs would be an ideal mechanism to introduce glamours related to that area. We've got the system for regional "reputation" in place now, why not expand the narrative of it and let us earn small benefits from it. I like your idea of minor discounts from vendors, etc. There are plenty of assets currently in the game to allow for such things. To be frank, I'm not interested in getting that massive mount from doing a bajillion FATES, but I WILL do a bajillion FATEs if they'll let me buy quantities of cheaper things such as glamours, emotes, and furniture.

Yes that sounds good to me, maybe not just fate oriented but special daily repeatable quest can be introduced for battle classes and crafters to tackle as well.

Are you talking about an equivalent to Beast Tribe dailies or something else entirely? What I'm hearing is you're suggesting content that's a combination of parts of Beast Tribes and location restoration akin to Doma and Ishgard. It sounds like a rep grind with more quest options, am I understanding correctly?

yes something similar to a combination of Restoration and tribes.

I'd be down with that. We've already got the system in the form of GC daily turn ins, why not add the same for regional factions/cultures? That way battle classes could submit dungeon drops and crafters/gatherers could submit their respective items. Just imagine how much extra money they'd make if you could turn in items from retainer quick ventures like we can with GCs?

At the moment I've got my retainers in a feedback look up Quick Ventures for Seal turn ins to get more Venture Tokens and Seals to buy the 3.0 and 4.0 pet/mount boxes. While I enjoy this to an extent "Gotta Catch 'em All!", I'd appreciate an expansion of this into regional factions for the reasons you mentioned in addition to FATE earned rep. Given the unlimited nature of FATE rep earnings, having large requirements for rep increase, or even something akin to a large number of rep ranks akin to GCs (but non-military) would be cool. Talk about a long-term progression thing with a large variety of options for rep earning!
