I'd like cross server friends, please!

Greetings,

As it would be very difficult to register friends across Worlds we do not currently have any plans to introduce this feature.

Then tell SE to hire people from other companies because clearly there are plenty of MMORPGs that have this feature.

Many of which are structurally different than FFXIV. How would you suggest they handle a situation where your friend on the other server shares a name with one on your home server? Duty Finder likely does this by simply having a condition that doesn't allow for identical names to be matched, but the way people are describing what they want you'd be able to force a party with two people with identical names. Many of the MMOs that allow this sort of thing reserve your name across ALL servers and for some the "servers" are more like channels. The only tool they have to link Worlds right now is the Lodestone and that doesn't interact with the game other than to ping the database for character sheets.
