Not cooperating and sharing raid bosses is nothing new. It's not caused by "kids these days." It's not caused by "WoW players infecting my precious FFXIV." It's something that has never in the history of mainstream MMOs worked. Baldesion Arsenal as a "public dungeon" was a fundamentally flawed idea (even though I love the zone itself and think it's really fun . . . once you get in). Eureka proper already is the public dungeon, it's just mostly outdoors. If you want a public dungeon, ask for more Eureka. If you want a public raid, go to university, double major in Sociology and Game Development, minor in Psychology, finish a PhD or two, and make that game. We'll wait.
it works in guild wars 2. it works in japan. this isnt hardwired into humans to behave this way. whether you take in information through voice or text makes virtually no difference. Grouping in game is actually way easier, if people didnt believe discord is the right way to do it, and spend 1-2 hours preparing outside of the instance instead of inside. Those 50-100 people waiting for frag runs in discord would just have done it ingame, with pretty much the same results, but less hassle.
