I'm assuming that was because so many players were already playing when GS opened, and many of them were extremely excited about it, so they all rushed in like battering rams to get the first cacpot tickets and have the best chocobos. I really didn't care, and only first checked out GS a few days ago, so guess what: I had absolutely no idea there was ever a lag or capacity problem. And I imagine that Saturdays get pretty busy, but otherwise I've never had a lag problem, never had a capacity problem, and have never felt like "there are too many people here" since setting foot in GS (and I'm now almost a daily participant).

Why was there ever such a huge problem with server capacity after 2.0 went live back in the day? Because of all the players rushing in, adhering to their uncontrollable excitement... not because of game elements that improve our characters' quality of life. ;/ My point is... since a few weeks after 2.0's launch, and a few days after the launch of GS, have the issues honestly been as bad? To be perfectly honest, I haven't noticed what you're talking about at all.

What about being forced to teleport out and check ventures only to find out you can't get back in? lol Would you consider one then? >.>

I'm glad too... but I'm asking for a retainer summoning bell, not a market board... -.-

And I guess, if it really is just about server space, why not increase it to allow for retainer summoning because the GS is obviously so popular? (Kind of like *cough* the release of 2.0 *cough*) There are tested solutions to this kind of problem, so if the summoning bell sourness is really all about maxing out GS's capacity - perhaps it's time to think about an increase? After all, I'm hoping SE will be expanding server capacity for Heavensward anyway because of all the anticipation and related initial server stress they're sure to get. The same people who flooded 2.0 and the GS at first will be the same ones bogging down servers and spamming aoe in Ishgard when 3.0 releases. Be prepared. (But I'm willing to bet there'll be both Summoning Bells and Market Boards in that area.) >.>

Please no, marketting and raiding don't belong in Gold Saucer, otherwise the people would split up even more and I very much like to see every city filled with people.

Please, do not lump up an entire gender and trivialize them. Let's use a gender neutral term. May I suggest, mad-people?
