Can we get the Guikd mark cap removed, or raised?

Players in small guilds can hit the guild mark cap far too easily. Guild marks are not an open currency that can ruin the economy, or be sold or traded, so why is there a cap on them to start with?

I am trying to build my marketplace but all 5 of my characters are maxxed on guild marks, so there is no incentive to keep building, since I will lose hundreds of thousands of marks by the time I get a market worth spending in and have no way to generate the marks by that time.

They don't want to do this because once you do rank up the market, marks are used to buy the maps to resources for masterwork crafting, and forcing people to either spend or be unable to accumulate marks keeps the supply of those maps low.

Working as intended, as far as I've been able to figure out.

Use your marks to buy guild gear, then recycle it for 1k AD.

If your guild is so small that you don't have a decent Marketplace yet, ask around and see if you can temporarily join a more advanced guild to spend your marks on something useful, whether it be guild gear or food.

And that's the obvious solution.

I think the indication that this person hasn't built a market at all. Members of really small guilds do hit their cap long before being able to build one.

I think you're right Becky, especially because of the number of Influence (which pays 1 GM/Influence) needed to get to Guild Hall Rank 4 and Marketplace Rank 2.

Right, I do not have a market 1, even. So there is nothing to spend marks on.

As for the maps, move them to higher ranks of market if they are that economy breaking, but this is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the guild mark cap.

Also, remember, that even though I have hit the pathetically low guild mark cap does not mean I have the other items needed to purchase any of the decent guild gear.
