I am once again asking for cross-DC travel

You shouldn't dismiss it as pointless. SE may not be able to fix the cause of the problem but they can contact the necessary entities involved to find out what's going on and hopefully prompt some sort of action.

I would suggest that a new thread gets created since this is most likely is a separate new problem. SE may not be paying attention to the old thread.

Sorry I'm just very frustrated with the whole ordeal. But you know what? That's actually a good idea. I'll do that, maybe it'll catch their attention.

Oh so just like that same toxic swarm of locusts on NA…

Lot of the comments here make me sad, I love to see region travel as a tool to actually learn and understand eachother's culture even if we don't respectfully agree on some things.

Just remember the golden rule of their house, their rules.

Also

We all got got good and bad people, doesn't matter what country. All that will be sorted out by GMs if some regional trolls decides to cause trouble.

Also people can make use of the blacklist if needed if someone is being disrespectful in the chat.

The blacklist is a joke and needs to be revamped. If they did that, then SE wouldn't have to worry about cross region DC travel. SE's statement they're worried about implementing this (they already can) because of JP can easily be solved to exclude JP altogether.

This sparked thoughts that may explain another reason for not implementing cross-region.

How are the GM tickets going to get handled? It's easy enough to say "their house, their rules" but how to handle the situations where a player is acting in good faith and not trying to cause problems but has somehow broken the unwritten rules of another region. Not to mention whether ticket volume will end up increasing or decreasing greatly by region compared to the size of staff for that region.

Personally, I'm in favor of cross region. I doubt that many trouble makers will appear. The greatest impact will be on the marketboards but those who play the markets will adjust just as they did when world visit launched and again with dc travel.

They also either need to get Materia connected to another region or give up the OCE data center as a failed venture and move Materia to another region. I don't think the Xbox release is going to make enough of a difference to OCE's population for it to be self-sustaining.

Something we've been pointing out ever since JP's objections became known.

Let them stay isolated if they want to be isolated. The other regions side heavily toward a global game community. Use the rest of us as the test for cross region. If it works well for everyone else, JP can change its mind and get added later. If it doesn't work well, then JP can be happy that they weren't involved.

They could make duty finder a manual opt-in/opt-out for playing with <traveler>'d players. Stick a checkbox in the same window as the unsync option. Along with adding a party finder window filter for said <traveler> label as well.

No need to even touch the blacklist system to fix their complaint here.
