I'm not sure what's more funny. The fact you seem to like SAO or that you're rather ignorant on why people want an option to run with a full 24 party on a dungeon that was supposed to already be in the game since release, not 3-4 months later.

if there's an option to allow the DF to form 24 man alliances from your local server then i'm ok with this.

Im all for meeting new people, there could be ones that you can recruit but they have to be on the same server for that to happen

Unfinished content needs to stop being given the green light. It feels completely unprofessional.

Honestly, I wouldn't have cared if they pushed back the launch date till early 2014 if that meant giving the fans and players a more polished game with features originally promised.

Especially when structuring your game around a core concept like the Duty Finder. Everything that works with it must be on par with other games AND MORE! You're not supposed to sell a product with less features than last year's and tell the customer to look forward to when they finally give out the features originally advertised.

SIGNED!

Well I am personally happy
no idea how I could form a 24 people party or how long that would take
(already takes forever to do a chimera/hydra/coil of bahamut)

Hell i cant even think of an MMO with a raid that required more than 1 Main Tank and sometimes and offtank that wasnt a gimmik (MageTank in Gruul and WarlockTank in Serpent)........

Again:

Squee knew CT was going to be a 24 man thing. It's horrifically short-sighted of them to design their dungeon finder and party system in such a way that actively prevents people from creating 24-person groups.

Coil doesn't take 24 people, so... no, I don't think it would be in a "not-so-ready" state. They knew they would need this functionality before the game released. They should have built their dungeon finder system with it in mind.

SE knows people want to form 24 man groups. THEY ARE WORKING ON THE FUNCTIONALITY. You're just going to have to wait a little longer for it.

They figured going this rout would please the most people since CT is casual endgame and is believe it or not NOT directed at the hardcorest of hardcore (that's what COIL is for). The typical casual player is going to use the duty finder, not gather up 24 people for a dungeon run.

sorry, i didn't see "pulling a sweeping generalization out of my ass and posting it on a forum" person anywhere on the list

do you really believe that anyone working for this company or an mmo company takes half of this shit as seriously as you do? they understand that customers are upset and wish that they could make changes at the snap of their fingers, but they are too busy to tell someone on a forum that they are acting like a baby.

beyond that, they really don't give a crap

but +1 for player formed alliances working in 2.1 pls

You're making an irrelevant point. The Crystal Tower isn't composed of 5 turns that all look completely different. Number of people does not necessarily correlate to amount of work required to construct the dungeon, supporting material and the encounters.

Maybe, just maybe, you should wait and see what it actually plays like before complaining or starting a petition.

I understand that you might want to make an 24 man alliance to go in, especially if you have a large FC. And I also understand people worrying about one group being slow/wiping, maybe even dropping out, and I am curious to see how Sqeenix will handle that for now.

And like many others already mentioned, they are working on it. Patience is a virtue.

Signed!

This game is a MMORPG, not a multiplayer RPG for anonymous player!

Be professional and dont release unfinished content!

If you are lucky you may meet your other FC groups in DF, but this depends mainly on how many FCs are going to queue with 3 premade groups.

You can petition this all you want, 2.1 is being released in a few weeks and they are not going to change this before then. I agree this is dumb but this is what happens when you have to support hardware on the end of its life cycle, if it wasn't for the PS3's lack of ability to display the same number of UI elements it would not be a problem but as long as they have to support the PS3 expect a watered down experience.
