Grand companies : the abandoned content

[MsMisato]

The Grand Companies are boring and have stupid outfits. I'd rather ignore them altogether from here on out

everyone loves the flowerpot hat.

They look like walking salt shakers.

Fitting for this player base.

Imo, they should retire the system as it is and just turn it into more a reputation thing that works similarly to how it does now (basically non-time gated reputation.)

That would also open up the possibility to add other factions like Ishgard and Ala Mhigo, which should be options already anyway. Maybe even add Garlemald, Thavnair, Sharlayan, etc.

"Repping" a faction could work exactly as it does now for PvP, since everyone is always a freelancer you don't need to keep it to just three on the player side.

More than half of the features in this game are abandoned.

FC system/Fellowships etc.

Most stuff gets abandoned or removed.

If they are not going to do anything with the GC, just leave them alone. They are good way to make easy gils and provide a quick way to get bonuses that are useable when DC or world traveling or in addition to what the fc has chosen. The daily turn in missions are also useful when levelling crafters (they will probably update this with DT).

Come to think about GCs... Their Elite sets were the perfect candidates for a "virtu/prestige" re-release in HD and dyeable at the PVP vendor. I was suprised they picked those ARR 'High Allagan' sets when we had way better candidates (The labyrinth of the ancients items were a good choice, tho').
