The Nasty Duty Finder and ETC

I love this game and I think this is one of the most beautiful games there is to date. But I have a few gripes with it that I think that will ultimately end and crush this game, and keeping it from taking the number 1 spot. Here they are:

1 - The Duty Finder, while useful and makes life easier, it is the biggest thing that kills this game. I understand it adds more players, and less chance of a server merge, but the thing is it kills the playerbase, and what I mean is everything that is an MMO it takes away from. Playing with your friends, building something with people. I play with many people, but yet i feel like im playing alone. I can make no connection with other players because i feel like Im punished for playing with people from my own server and my own party. I dont know anyone that I play with, on a level to put them on my friends list and keep talking with them everyday oh wait everyone I play with is on a different server because Duty Finder joins people with different servers. It should be with people only on the same server at least.


2 - Open World Events/Notorious Monsters - While FATEs were awesome at first, but the truth is they are to help out with the grind, and in between dungeons. One world, Exploration while this is a beautiful game exploring feels like a lackluster. I don't have any will I survive moments, or I wonder whats in this cave? an bad ass enemy?! Add Event Fate NMs and I dont mean enemies that are used to level off of, I mean drops rare items, craft items, unique gear. And more open world events that you dont need the duty finder, the duty finder limits what you can create for your game.



3 - Class adversity - Do something, Let your players be who they want to be, and play how they want to play. Don't limit them to one class just this certain thing.


This are my 3 biggest issues. I love this game, and I love how it plays but ultimately it kills me because I feel like Im playing by myself. It doesnt force me to communicate like other MMOs do.

with what you're saying with the same server duty finder i find that to be unrealistic due to some servers e.g. Zalera being the least populated server so people queuing for a dungeon say for example sastasha they could be waiting hours for it to pop, but what you're also saying is that you don't want to queue with your friends from your server to do dungeons with, they recently made it so you can do all the roulettes in a party so there's no reason to not join with people form your own server.

1) Then go out and socialize. They're not going to make DF server only, that would kill queue times and destroy small servers. But nothing is stopping you from going out and meeting people that are on your server to play with.


2) No because then it becomes a camping game. You saw the cluster truck that happened when Centurio Seals were the way to get armor upgrades for Law Gear. This would only be worse.


3) The "I play how I want" attitude leads to bad players. Just the other day I got ARF for mentor roulette and got a SMN who just spammed Ruin 3 and Energy Drain. No Dots. And a BLM who decided that Enochian is too hard to manage. So we ended up taking 10 whole minutes on the first boss. The entire dungeon took an hour.

There will always be a mathematically optimal rotation and people should learn the basics of that rotation at the very least or else you're just making everyone else drag their feet all in the name of "unique play style"
