Port Jeuno congestion...

[Unleashhell]

The /yell feature should be linked to the Port areas of Jeuno and the 3 cities. Remove the /yell being linked to the rest of Jeuno. Personally I hate the /yell feature but it isn't leaving so I can just give my suggestion. Also add Magian Moogles to the 3 cities in the Port areas. This way we have Abyssea, /yell and Magian Moogles in the Port zones and people can return to their home nations and not miss /yells. We do not need /yells in every single zone. There is no reason to have that. If people are that lazy they cannot go to one single area in the home nations that is really sad on their part.

Also why not have a main bazaar hub similar to the Auction House. Same categories as the auction house but when you look for items you will see the name of the item, person selling and the price. Then give an option to buy. Maybe have it automatically go to the Delivery Box or something. There has to be some way to make it that people can check bazaars from any location regardless of where the seller is.

This is one major lag issue and putting a tax on a bazaar does not help anything. Why not remove the tax from the auction house. Most people that bazaar auction house-able items bazaar them because they want to save the auction house tax in order to make more profit.

Having Whitegate be "the place to be" is far more ideal. SE shouldn't be afraid of too many people moving back there.

The reason is simple: In port jeuno, you're packing 300+ people into a fishbowl. In whitegate, you'd be packing the same number of people into a much larger space. Though certain spots such as around the moghouse would still be congested, the rest of people would be a little more spread out.

I can't understand why anyone would "hate" the yell channel. It removes the absolute need for players to all gather in one small space to communicate and group up, and it has a reasonable cooldown to prevent abuse. Since it isn't good for normal conversation, it doesn't get used for anything other than what it should be: forming groups and trade.
Regardless, just because *you* don't like it is no reason for it to be removed. You have the power to turn it off if you don't want to use it. Your suggestion removes the whole point of the yell feature, which is to connect all the areas of a single city to make it easier for people to not have to cram into one of those areas, not one area of all cities which forces everyone in each city to use one area of that city most of the time. Not to mention the fact that the port area isn't the most popular location in all cities.

Won't change anything, everyone will just congregate in another zone. The biggest problem is that all the bazaars are now in lower jeuno. Just bringing back bazaar taxes would probably be enough to relieve the congestion.

This was never a problem when lower jeuno was the hub and the population was 500k instead of the current 300k so I fail to see what exactly the problem is. The real problem is that Rolanmart moved into Port Jeuno.

I haven't looked at the actual per server census numbers, but I'm guessing that server merges have kept the relative population about the same.

Add bazaar tax in Port and Ru'lude, and limit AH use in Port and Ru'lude, keep Abyssea npcs in Port/Ru'lude. I think you'll find that it will go a long way to fix congestion when bazaars and AH people are taken out of the picture, because it's the only way to fix congestion. It's sad that it's come to this but it is futile to ask people to do something or to make compromises with them. They want you to force it on them or else they'll stay lazy and content with complaining about congestion while never doing anything to solve it themselves. Some do, I guess, but it's a pretty low number.

It's like trying to get someone to stop complaining about how easy Abyssea is and that there's no challenge. Don't wear buffs or atma. Make a challenge for yourself and stop waiting on SE to do it for you. Do they do it? Hell no. Because it isn't forced onto them. Force it on them. Problem solved.

How about dropping PS2?

That'd fix a bunch of problems.

From experience, people answer shouts more often because they ideal in the hub or have their hp in the hub so you can catch walk ins or people who have just returned to the game quicker since you can /shout every 1.5s or w/e it is, not once a min... a lot of people zone in and out of places in that time... maybe soloing a lower lv job or something, they arent going to wait for those minutes to do a pick up group for items they're after.

Ever since the Tax was lifted on all Jeuno areas everyone moved inside. Now instead of 100+ people standing outside one of the zones you have all those people (and more) standing in every Jeuno zone (mostly port). Put the tax back on all Jeuno zones and everyone will go back outside. That removes all those people from all Jeuno zones.

Move the seal guys to Upper since there really isnt anything in Upper worth hanging around for.

Port keeps Abyssea warps.

Ru'lude stays as it is cluttered with magian people.

Lower stays as it is with MMM (for those that still do it)

And have the /yell to all of Jeuno and the city zones where abyssea warpers are.

Fixed.

Just removing the bazaar people alone would help things.

>< Okay, do the emergency stuff for now, but after the Devs are done with that, try solving it by overhauling the Seacomment system we have. Damn my lack of Japanese!

•Players can use event-specific shouts if you modify the current "Search Comment" system.

Example: /Seacomshout [EXP] » looking for members! 3/6
(This shout will only show in the chat log of players that want to hear about EXP events.)

•Attempted Japanese Translation ><
