World Visit system

Ummm… Won't this help small servers the most? If I were on a small server with limited resources and gil, I'd be very happy to jump to a high-population world to either buy things cheaper, or buy things that aren't even available (at any price) on my small server.

It will make small servers better but it will destroy other servers.
Phoenix is mainly a crafting/gathering server.
Imagine people coming buying specific staff and sell to their server !

You sure spout a lot of doom and gloom, but don't provide any explanations to back up your claims.

Welcome to retail business, it's a different setting from a flea market. There are 2 ways you can view this change, you can stay an artisan and create products unique to your server, or you can grab products from other servers and become a retailer yourself. Both ways are still part of tradecraft. People buy and resell even on same server, it doesn't matter if the market is expanded to other servers.

Because a small server doesnt have the same power as a huge server.
Its not a matter of selling and buying staff.
Its a matter of what power a community has to buy and sell.

actually, smaller sever where the problem start... did you know the smaller server is godly overprice? while big server much more cheaper.
So yes this will be great for smaller server.

it also mean Crafter now have bigger competitor i don't longer have to be annoyed at the fact they one person ruling everything in the market board.

no it won't be economy destroying.. i will actually help us.

BTW smaller server have huge amount of Gil is super crazy.

The World Visit system is completely different from the CRZ of World of Warcraft, so I don't see what exactly you are saying that SE is just copying Blizz nor do I understand your doom and gloom statements either. CRZ was something that was forced upon everyone with only a few ways to control it, and caused a lot of other issues since the Server you were on can change from zone to zone. World Visit is far more controlled than that. World Visit can only be accessed through a City Aetheryte and you /choose/ which Server you'd like to go to which then allows you to even do Maps and stuff with friends on other servers. Something you are currently unable to do. Not only that but you aren't randomly forced onto another server when moving to a new zone either.

I'm just curious if you'll be locked from visiting congested worlds. IE, Balmung. The idea seems to be a measure to get people on high populated realms to play on low pop realms when doing new msq content etc to even out the stress, so I wonder if just as you can't make a new character on a congested world or xfer into it via mog station, will they bar players from other servers from visiting Balmung to keep the traffic down?

You cannot visit a congested world. Balmung players can visit other worlds but non-Balmung players can't visit Balmung until the server population goes back to "regular".

I only played WoW for a little while after CRZ came in effect, and the main problem I ran into was that gathering nodes were all shared, so only one person could gather and when they were done it was gone for everyone. Which meant a dearth of resources as they were now suddenly shared across multiple servers. Over here, gathering nodes work differently, with everyone having access to their own instance of one, so that problem at least won't happen as there is no competing over nodes.

This doesn't make sense because if you're on a smaller world, you'll pay a lot more for items in general. But now (When added) you get to Visit other Worlds and buy from elsewhere, and I get to sell my items to a large new crowd of buyers!

I have heard that some servers have problems with crafting and marketplace bots. This would kinda make it an all servers problem, as players can just go to the botted worlds for the rediculously cheap items there, leading to legit crafters earning less
