Jeuno Quest Bulliten Board

[Inafking]

I posted an idea like this on the XIV beta board. Players loved it, devs didn't care. I'm expecting a similar respons here except with more trolls.

We all now how difficult it is to get things done in this game. Everything requires a group but getting that group together is often times more challenging than the actual fight. The joke I ususaly tell is "This game is like sex. You spend all your time looking for people to do it with, and it's over in 5 minutes." What I am suguesting is an easier way to get groups together.

It starts out with a bulliten board like FF Tactics or My life as a king. Players can post a quest that they need at the cost of items, gil or board points. Responding players can sign up to help or get a similar reward or quest completion as the posting player. Responding players that sign up to help get board points for their own quests, items or gil. Give everyone a certan amount of board points per day and viola, people are now getting stuff done instead of hanging out in Jeuno.

This fixes Juno zone, shout and yell congestion while also fixing the problem of not being able to get things done.

I originally supported this idea and SquareEnix did have a post board in the past PlayOnline/newspaper section(I think years 1-3 or so).However, it was underutilized and "outside" the normal game.

I posted a similar idea, but using the Newspaper NPC in Windy(but spread the newspaper to all towns). Heck, a series of "newspaper" quest could have been created. Players could've investigated all types of stories and report to the newspaper.

I really wish there was a way to get english speaking ppl to use the /seacom. Kinda sucks going through that and can't read a thing, but once in a blue moon i see someone wanting something i'm interested in, but not very often. Maybe your idea may catch on more, idk would be nice if there was a way to get ppl to show us what they needed.

It would be nice if people would pick up on /seacom but I think it's just too passive. Besides, without some kind of reward system, most people can't be motivated to help at all.

why not just ask for help in your world forum...

You mean like this?

Honestly I agree with this idea of a board if not the payment portion. I have been playing a long time and I like to try and 100% things while at same time helping others. If there was a way to post a mission that you currently on (my example was WotG 1st Castle Zvahl Baileys fight took me almost 2 months to find people on or past it) I think that would help speed things up. I also see shouts in zones for Nyzul Isle, and feel if there was a way to post what floor you currently on for others to see more people would be able to progress to floor 100's.

Just saw another ragequit in Jeuno because no one wants to help. You really gotta do something Square.

Actually a great idea, but I recommend putting it in General section for more feedback and to increase the chances that a rep will see it.

I link to it in topics where it applies. I'd like to keep it in this section because this is where I think it belongs / stands out.
