    4. Break down of reasons to leave main cites.

    Any political scientist can identify this as text book collective action problem.
    - simple definition, a situation in which the uncoordinated actions of each person may not result in the best outcome he or she can achieve.
    Hmm, not sure why you quoted me. I did not say it is a main problem, its just an issue that causes flaming and argument and people getting angry. But it doesnt happen all the time and is no different than maybe going on your fave multiplayer game on xbox and being with randomers.

    Anywho

    As I've said Ninja Loot is NOT a reason for it, here is few reasons why
    1. It already happens, time after time it happens, theres no risk of reputation for many reasons under that:
      1. You dont need many people to do anything
      2. Your reputation is meaningless to do anything, part of 1
      3. People forget very soon
    2. Loot is random, you didnt "lot" it and grab it, it just landed in your pocket.
      1. That person that did "steal" is going to be back most likely so you can decline playing then

    You cant say a system will cause something that already exists. And which this game does absolute nothing to prevent happening.

    XI reputation ment a lot because you NEEDED other people, in this game you can do everything on your own or with close friends. And looking at the future it is fairly certain the team are keeping it that way. Bad reputation in XI ment no linkshells, no linkshell ment no Dynamis, no Limbus, no Sky not being able to do any of the things that used to require a lot of people. (Sadly all perished now...) But in XIV it is not the case. No linkshell means wait 1 month and then get one, and even having no linkshell you'll have friends who will stand by you even if you are the biggest douche on the server, so with 3-4 friends you've got the entire game covered.
