One minor change that would make FoV, GoV, and Dom Ops AWESOME

My understanding is we're talking about having to confirm it anyway though, so even if they could do something similar for dominion you'd have to be present to say yes.

Really for dominion ops though I think what they should do is triple the required kills triple the rewards and update the seal rate to account for the new reduced frequency of re-signing up for pages. And possibly add additional NPC's for some of the same ops for those rarely used ops.

Example: Instead of 5k for 5 mobs make it 15k for 15 mobs.
Disclaimer: Exact figures not used numbers made up.

I couldn't get a party change pages even though camp was super over crowded and the other page would yield just as much exp per page specifically because "its to far to walk between pages". It wasn't really that far but people want to camp pretty much right next to the npc and won't be convinced not to with pages being so short. Some pages do give less exp as well but the main reason you always see the same few camps used is the walk after just 5 mobs.

I don't see how you could repeat pages on FoV/GoV, but not Dominion. It's extremely similar, copy/paste code, edit it a bit, done. The best kind of DEV work, in my experience.

Either way, I don't care what you do, but just allow us to do AT LEAST Dominion without running back and forth for Ops.
There are plenty of good XP spots in Heroes zones, however none of them are close enough to an NPC to be worthwhile.
An example being, I'd love to do Gears in Uleg, but you'd have to run back and forth through the Spheroids [that aggro] to be able to repeat Ops. Making the trip not only annoying, but not worthwhile for the EXP.

In the same way, we could actually have multiple alliances at say, Buffalos, because we could utilize both sides of the Buffalos, rather than camping the side next to the NPC.

I find that most of the FoV/GoV ops are way too annoying to keep up with, so I'm not too interested in fixing them, but if you can, lovely.
FoV/GoV needs to have enough pages to have one that's good for each level range, without it being overly annoying mobs.
Would like to see GoV in areas such as Ghelsba/Grotto/Giddeus/Palborough/etc. The only real viable page option would be "Kill X amount of Y family monsters." [Or you can take the annoying route you did with Cardians, actually requiring specific ones. >_>]

Repeating a grounds or fields page automatically would be awesome!

Only annoyance they'd probably have is the fact you need to return to the Dominion Sergeant to get the EXP and such, so they'd need to change that to automatic.

Personally I'd be fine with then just doing it to GoV, it's a pain constantly travelling halfway across the map to get another page, if the window to accept was a pain to code, a item to pop a tome or even a text command would be fine.

Auto-repeat option would be great thank you. :)

If they claim they can't though, they could reduce the problem in a manner similar to what I said though. All I meant. We don't know that some kind of auto reflag is totally impossible yet but they're saying they can't do it the same way exactly so I'm doubting it happens.

I really wish FoV/Gov/OPs were never tied to any book/npc to start with, and were simply an unlocked menu option. Menu is wherever you are. No trips.

Having an option to auto-repeat FoV and GoV pages would be a million times better than christmas. In terms of playability and usability I literally can't think of a single change that would make as much impact on me personally and my playstyle.

As for Dom Ops, would it be feasible to add more Dom Ops NPCs to each relevant zone?

Instead of going through the trouble of implementing any of these ideas, why not just up the number of monsters to fight for a bigger reward...

Instead of 5 Dom Op kills, make it 50(or give us a second option from the norm to kill 50, or just let us kill however many we want and the system checks that and awards accordingly) Instead of 7 GoV kills, make it 20. 30. 70. Something better than a handful of kills. No need for a window. No need for auto repeat. Unless those for some weird reason would be easier to implement than adding an additional kill count per page/Op. An option for short term and long term.

I rather see an auto repeat. If you set the number higher you'll just have people whining that it takes too long to complete a page. They would also still complain about running back to the book no matter how many target kills you add in.

I think just leaving it to FoV/GoV would be the best choice for this reason. Abyssea is already too easy, if the devs had to prioritize, it should be FoV/GoV > Dom Ops
