Question concerning a possible solution to Assault/Einherjar

[Anjou]

My personal opinion (And please hate on it) is that if people want to explore old content, they should be able to. They bought the damn expansions, but they can't explore because there's a minimum on present members. Most people can literally solo an Assault run, so what's the point in forcing them to ask people that they don't know (Or linkshell members who don't want to go in the first place until the person wanting to go has to beg and beg.).

I can pretty much counter anything anyone has to say about my attitude towards SoA, because personally I'm too casual of a player to waste my time with repetitive plasm grinds and reives (SP), and would rather explore everything FFXI has to offer instead of one expansion that from what I've seen is nothing more than a Mongolian Clusterf--k.

I couldn't agree more. I'd like the limit removed, but even if it's reduced to two it would help considerably. If they removed the level caps in COP so more people could enjoy the storyline, I don't understand why they wouldn't make changes to make these more enjoyable.

Because the problems are different. CoP needed a large party of people to do it in normal areas, Assault needs only 3 people, Einherjar 6, but both are not normal areas, instead instanced areas which you can not enter when another party is present inside. The reason SE always gives for not doing this is because the day they would do it 500 people would swarm Assault and spam it so much that the congestion would be unbearable, as though so many people on any server are really making Mythics, especially now.

Do not get me wrong, I think the limit it stupid, but they have reasons of which are not comparable to CoP really, it would be more accurate to point out you can enter Limbus solo with no problems, yet Assault requires 3 people minimum.

The Development Bros have this weird idea that reducing the entry requirement for Assaults to 2 folks would cause nightmarish congestion. No, seriously. Really. Truly.

I like to think that similar anti-congestion measures hold sway over their office bathroom and have caused somebody to poop his or her pants while waiting on one person to leave a four stall and two urinal facility, because applying such measures to Assaults as of 2013 has no basis in reality and I wish a moderate amount of ill on whoever refuses to change the entry requirements.
