give the current players a time sink....Post your ideas for what SE could implement

Oh!

Now this is gonna sound a bit confusing unless I can word it properly, but...

How about a special 'music band' kind of event. Players can gather rare special musical instruments parts from possible mob drops and gathering, and once all the parts are put together to become a musical instrument (like a violin or something). There'd be a huge choice of musical instruments each with special traits or stats that will determine how good your character would be at playing that instrument (perhaps also be affected by characters race so that bands have a variety of characters in them). Each week a stage appears just outside/inside Ul'dah where groups/linkshells that have aquired a variety of musical instruments stand on the stage to play. Much of the playing is automated, but how well the tune comes out will be determined by what instruments are being used in conjuction with the stats/ranks of the instruments and the character thats playing it.

Each group will get an overall score depending on how well they played, and the winners could win some special items or materia.

It'd take a lot of time and thought to get all the right instruments to help up their score along with working out the best mixture of instruments. Fun and enjoyable time sink
