Grand Company - Seperation does not equal fun!

[Estellios]

Sorry to dredge this up but I just returned to the game with some friends.... I think people are independently interested in different companies for whatever reasons. 1.22b patch notes indicate they did indeed make it so you could participate in other companies' caravans but it looks like it's unlocked via a much later quest. Do you think it would behoove us to agree on a company to pay together sooner or is acquiring seals not really important until later, anyway?

Thanks!

Hopefully you see this in time, but you should not have any problems if everyone goes into different companies if they want to do so. Most of the GC quests are eventually soloable and the ones that aren't you can do together no matter your affiliation.

The reason this was a big issue for Caravans is because it was the only content that you could not do with other companies at all and it's now one of the best sources of seals. As you thought, seals are not really worth using until high levels and higher company ranks as the gear available in those ranks is actually pretty nice.

On the topic of combining things, with the Eorzean alliance I think it no longer makes sense for anything to be separated, and I think a lot of people would be happy if everything else about GCs was combined in some sense.

For example a lot of people want to be able to buy the items from other GCs. I can understand locking out some items like maybe the soldier uniforms and the chocobo barding, but allow us to buy certain things at an increased seal price.

Also it would be nice if you could turn in supply/provisioning items at any nation. This would give people more options of items to turn in each week, and would (hopefully) give more people the opportunity to turn in something, since the turn-ins often get camped at the weekly reset time, and if you could choose which nation to go to, people would spread out more.

I am in favour of an increase of 25% seals on other GC items.

I wouldn't mind a way to change companies, but it should probably either have a limit on how often you can do it, a penalty for changing (a new loyalty quest to *really* prove your allegiance, for example) or both.

Turn in all your company gear (with no refund).
Loss of all rank
Loss of all seals
All quests done get marked as undone
All achievements done get marked as undone

It will be as if you were never part of the company. Your leaving is a disgrace and shall be noted for all future times. Your return will not be accepted (except perhaps with an apology payment of 100M Gil).
