I'll say this: I would spend a lot more time doing events and enjoying content casually if there was an auto group system that actually worked.
I don't think I'm alone in this either.
The greatest challenge in all of Vana'Diel is forming groups. If the game helped out with that in a meaningful way, I think it would change the game for the better.
Of course you would still want to form custom groups for really elite level stuff, but for stuff like voidwatch, meebles, limbus, salvage, nyzul assault, KSNMs, missions, Add-ons, etc.
Casually farm, craft or kill whichever kind of crab looks at you sideways and still be seeking for a specific event and get grouped up when you are ready to go....
That would be amazing...and it will never happen.
The grouping system in FFXI, imo, is one of its biggest, glaring flaws. I would love for this to not be its biggest, glaring flaw.
But I do not expect that, at this stage of the product life cycle, and with the company betting all their chips on FFXIV's reboot that anything as game changing as this will ever be added to FFXI's UI.
