We already have Abyssea. Why make Dynamis into Abyssea? That's not saving Dynamis, it's using the name "Dynamis" to refer to something that isn't Dynamis anymore.

The whole thing that has made Dynamis my favorite event in the game is that you go in with a group of friends, and together as a team you take on an entire zone. Everyone has to work together, following a strategy, in a spirit of companionship and friendship. That is the true essence of Vana'diel.

Now that's going away. It's going to be just another zone with random people getting in the way of this great cooperative effort. You're taking what made Dynamis special, and throwing it away to make it just like Abyssea. Sure, Abyssea is very well done, exceptionally good in fact. But we already have Abyssea, we don't need another one called "Dynamis."

What distinguished FFXI from other MMORPGs was the need for cooperation, a rich storyline and in-game culture, and difficult challenges. There was no Easy Button, and I liked that. That's why I picked FFXI over the others, even having never played another Final Fantasy game before.

You see, Dynamis for me has never been about the drops. It's the fun, the challenge, the teamwork, the concept and storyline, that's what has been important to me. It's the immersion in the world, the culture and history of Vana'diel, and the friends I make along the way. You're keeping only the part that's least important to me -- the drops -- and wrecking everything else.

Why not just leave Dynamis as it is? No-one revamped Garrison (another great event) when people stopped doing that. If people want to move on, just let them move on.
