Suggestion: Server Without the Duty Finder

[Jynx]

As much as I despise the duty finder you wouldn't get much done with it removed, the game is far too focused on using it to accomplish most tasks for your battle character.

The base game would need a community focused redesign to make the Duty finder not required, I'd love it if so.

• Usefullness and reasoning to be in a free company other needs a boost
• Open world content needs to be much more than hunts and FATES
• Open world Dungeons
• Dangerous overworld areas
• Moving from one area to another is more difficult than a button press

Things like these help foster communities. Some things that people call archaich and not friendly to players such as the fear or death and penalties, difficult travel, need to group with people on your server to do content. These bring people together to overcome adversity.


The developers have streamlined everything to a point that you don't need to interact with the community anymore so most people just don't.

Well, for starters, there's no general, server wide chat channel.

Or one across cities.

You get... shouts. That's it. Way to get people to talk to folks.

Most of my friends in games came not from actually doing things with them, but by having general discussions with them in public channels, which leads to tells and eventually group and guild invites. Limiting chat to one zone at a time, and even then not necessarily the entire zone, is pretty much not a very friendly thing to start with. It's almost like they don't *want* you to meet people.
