You guys must skip over a huge amount of posts because otherwise you'd recognize panthera centric sarcasm.

I'm amazed the admins have allowed this to go on as long as they have. Allakhazam 2.0 it seems.

Nexus cape is useable once every 20 hours.. I hardly see that being something able to be constantly abused. Realistically that abuse COULD happen... once every 2 days. But I wouldn't call that abuse. It would be called "using equipment the way its designed".

Ah I see what he was doing, he was parodying Starcade with his trolling. Now, where did I put my punting boots? I've got a little tarutaru to find...

The only thing it could be abused for is Tiamat anyway, there is like no other 24+ hour pops worth fighting anymore.

I would like to see at least invites from any city would save me a trip to Jeuno everyday for gather together time to form up parties.

I'm not sure about this.
Server-wide invites would be very much welcome in an environment where you have a server-wide channel of communication, at least in cities. Kinda like WoW's "General" channel. But while it's very useful, it's not very "FFXI-esque", also developers already stated that with the current FFXI infrastructure such a possibility would be a very heavvy burden for the servers.
In light of this, I think server-wide invites wouldn't really be useful.
The fact they updated /PCMD to work region-wide some patches ago is good enough, imho.

What they should do is make /shouts zone-wide. Currently they have a certain range (100 yalms radius? 150 yalms?) from the person shouting. In some particularly large zones you can't possibly reach everyone. Say you're in Valkurm Dunes asking for help, or for a Raise. You're shouting but the only person willing to reply to your shout is too far away, so they won't read it.
I think shout should really be made zone wide, possibly increasing the amount of seconds between each shout you can make, to avoid the same people shouting too often.

I'm not really sure what's going on in this thread, but... Yes please to server-wide invites! I'd love to be able to invite friends/ls members/party replacements at any time, no matter where they are.

That's what we thought MMM was. How wrong we were.

Walking from Port Jeuno to Sauromugue Champaign to get an invite for Tiamat is such a stretch. Let's call that abuse while we're at it.
