All this talk about community...

I misunderstood that until the post you made that actually showed up when I posted mine haha. My point still stands, you can make those kinds of things happen. People set up raffles and gambling events all the time. That and chocobo races, mazes, scavenger hunts, etc. Yes, it would be nice if the game provided more options for this, and I believe they are (look at Hunts). They made the FC Rankings on the Lodestone, which admittedly, is not very helpful considering it's about GC Points, but it's still something.

As far as FFXI goes, it's not really like it used to be, which is what people are normally referring to. It's actually a lot like FFXIV now, sans queues, so everything takes waaaaay longer.

Just so you know, I am liking all of your posts and I agree with your points.

Perhaps it really just a matter of sticking it out and letting SE catch up to all of the systems that they have in game, which aren't really tapped into (Grand Companies for example).

In the meantime, you're right in the fact that instead of waiting for SE to implement Choco Racing, I could have my FC set up our own races within our district and award prizes.

In the end, you're right... I just hope that SE also sees some of these suggestions and adds some of these types of things in-game. They have the outline, it's just a matter of filling in the gaps.

-snip, point about philanthropy-

^^Also a very good point.



(A few others have made the same point, I agree, valid points)
