"Real ID" Concept

[kyuven]

That's just simple things like chat. Nevermind the fact that in WoW I can invite a friend from an entirely different server to a party, and they will be transferred temporarily to my server. People need to stop acting like "tecnilogy is hrd" and making excuses why a current gen game can't have the same QoL services that one made over 10 years ago has.

10 years ago they didn't have it. They've HAD 10 years to develop the system, as well as consistency and funding within their own company to establish the framework needed to make it work.
It DOES take a lot of work to get *right*. And which would you rather have? Something that barely functions at what you want it to do, or something that works right right out the gate?
We all want the latter. SE would want the latter. The latter takes time.
Patience.

You say you're not an apologist yet you have such a hard-on for this thread rofl.

Blizzard had 10 years to develop their tech.

Square had plenty of time too. I've already went on to say how we already had cross server chat functionality with FFXI's PoL service yet we've lost that. And yes, I'm sure they had their reasons to get rid of it, however I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't the chat functionality.

Why would we want to chat with people from different servers? Because some of us have friends on different servers. Because we would like to be able to make friends in the duty finder and group up with them again. We want more depth to the cross-server grouping. Is reduced queue time for dungeons really the sole purpose for the feature? Are we just supposed to forget about the people we meet and enjoy grouping with from different servers? Because that's all we can do! What about blacklisting? What about all of the times a person gets kicked from a group only for them to queue in progress and join right back in. I literally saw this happen 7 times in a row once. With Blizzard, if you blacklist someone from a different server, it won't group you with them. Period.

No shit, the implementation of this would take time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this obvious fact. We aren't saying we want it NOW, we're saying we want it period.
