Which in turn creates a situation where these players gain unfair advantage over others and catching up to them as far as segments go is plain impossible, due to the disgusting time gating practice used on Odyssey entry items.
Turning the content into alliance content would make it possible for even less versed groups to farm large amounts of segments each run and make the content more fair compared to current system. Even if, this would enable RMTs to abuse the gil reward obtainable at end of Odyssey by bringing in large amount of naked mules. The benefits of such change to Odyssey for standard players and ffxi community in general are just too good to ignore.
Having to leave fellow linkshell members and other friends out of this content due to completely pointless and unnecessary party size limitations is real shame. And utterly counterproductive to how an MMORPG is supposed to work. Square Enix is just gonna keep losing customers when people take a break from the game and cancel their subscription because they were unable to do latest content with their linkshell group! Such transition to alliance content from party content could even be highly profitable for Square Enix, as people might make more alt characters and mules in order to benefit more from the Odyssey content gil reward obtainable at end.
