The Case For or Against Cross-World Dungeons

Is Producer/Director Yoshida's plan to implement cross-world dungeons a good idea? What are the positive benefits? What are the negative repercussions?

I've been asking myself these questions for the last couple weeks. My MMO instincts tell me that this is a bad idea. My personal friends who play World Of Warcraft tell me that it ruined that game for them. The few comments that I have seen on these forums on the subject seem to be violently negative.

But I feel like I'm only getting half of the story. Producer/Director Yoshida seems to be very much in favor of this system, but he doesn't really explain why, or demonstrate what the gameplayer will gain when such a system is implemented. Can anyone in the community see any merit for implementing cross-world dungeons?

I'm looking to start an open and honest discussion taking both sides of the argument into account. But if we can't figure out any positive benefit for cross-world servers, then we need to let Producer/Director Yoshida know in no uncertain terms that we do not want it implemented.

I do NOT want to look for a party for hours....

If this is ANYWAY sovles the horrid that was ff11 in this matter then DOOOO ETTTT!!!!.

nice post captain obvious

the old post from some where yoshida had mention the reason to implement cross-world party is for ppl who join the game later at 2.0 will still be able to search for party and this is the main reason but that doesn't mean the end game player dont have problem with find party.

Let me be more specific. A cross-world dungeon system needs a Cross-World Queue or Cross-World Lobby system in order to facilitate the formation of parties.

My question is ... why does it have to be cross-world?? What is the added in player benefit of making it cross-world instead of keeping it native-world?

I know. But that's why I'm asking these questions. I only have what I hear from my friends and the community to help.

Oh another thread about this !
