Are we getting a server merge soon?

Trusts are the dumbest idea SE has ever implemented in this game. They have destroyed Linkshells and any Community we had. Sever merges wont help that because everyone wants a console game that's on the internet I guess.

1st post i possible couldn't agree any more with. Like i said though i could understand SE reasoning when people started to quit to help returning/new players to level up since finding a party for that would be impossible any more but that is where it should have ended. When SE allowed trusts into VW/Dynamis/Abyssea/Escha/Reisinjima/High Tier battlefields/Delve/even this new ambuscade event, they ruined as you say linkshells and communities and have made it hard for SE to go back on this now that so many people rely on trusts now.

I have been arguing not against merges per se but arguing at the fact that with the issues of the game as current merging would just make things worst and SE has to change the game to be more friendly in the issues i have stated in previous posts before they merge again. I would love to have a ton of people on a server again i honestly would love just merging all into a couple and get 1000's back on wanting to do stuff. It's just not beneficial for anyone when you can't even do some of the new relevant stuff due to congestion with just 300 people on the server.

Eh, Trusts are good for the game. Look, I stood at ambuscade and said "hey anyone want to take a scrub to reduce congestion?" no one did, so I held up an instance while soloing it on easy. If folks don't want to group up there is not much to be done. I am glad that at least I have the option to continue to play if I want to. Without trusts I'd just be hooped when no one wanted to help out a scrub.

Congestion is a pain but it could easily be solved by folks welcoming players to join them. Folks would rather "optimize" even if that means losing 10 minutes to spamming enter on a book. Go figure. It would totally be faster for everyone if folks were willing to group up without being overly picky... even with the bonus points for higher tiers the reduction in standing around time would probably make up for having to go down a difficulty notch... but people don't think sensibly.

Anyway the devs don't help the situation by rewarding higher tiers with so many extra points, since all that does is disincentivize helping players who don't already have awesome gear. *shrugs* so scrubs have to do the content 5 times as much, and it takes the good players 5 times as long to enter the content. Seems like lose-lose.

PS: Hyrist I'd be up for duoing with you anytime. I'm not the best player but I am an OK blu and a better bard than Joachim, at the very least
