1. Bring back the story, HM, and EX model for primal fights and reward people for completing HM and EX versions.
We do receive Rewards, and the Daily random duty roulette not only gives us those rewards - But helps out people who are going to those instances for the first time.

2. Fix Chocobos so we can use them in groups.
The only 'fix' will be to severely nerf the Chocobos, there is a balance to maintain and it breaks it if you have a 16 member Party.
I can understand wanting to use your Chocobo in more areas, but what you are asking is a little silly. Maybe you didn't hear about the future plans for being able to use Chocobos in dungeon etc?


3. Drop Lockouts based on previous patch content.
Are you talking about BCoB? It's rather important to finish turn 5 so the cut scenes in the SCoB make sense... Doing it in order is a good thing ^^

4. Stop basing content around the idea people will form statics (Ramuh EX, Coil). Statics formed because people wanted to make better use of their time

Maybe you use a static as a tool... but not everyone does. A lot of people prefer to make friends and play with people they know both by personality and by ability.

The idea doesn't seem to be making a new static for every patch like you seem to think is 'normal' - but is based on the ideal that you will be playing the entire story line with the same people and have those instances of 'hey this fight is kind of like that one time we did this - let's try use the same tactics and see if we get further'

You are talking about end game content and it really is not for everyone right away.
Later it will receive the Echo, then the people who don't like to figure out tough fights and work hard at it will have loads of resources and a huge advantage and will be able to clear what used to be the hardest content in the game and receive multiple allowances of loot a day. Even then... they have the option to turn the Echo off if they so desire.
But till then, you need to respect other peoples wishes too.

PF is a fantastic tool for making the party you want ie. 'Practice party, Experienced party, ATMA party, Party at my house lets make friends (lol)'
DF is a gamble naturally but is great for those with less time/do other things while you wait for your DF to pop.
