Kill or Fix Crossworld Visiting Please before this game becomes WOW

[Emmanellain]

Crossworld visiting is the best thing they've implemented since ARR, there, I said it.

It makes it possible for players to buy goods on the MB for less than 1mil a pop, as someone who has played on Midgarsormr, Balmung for the past five years I can calmly tell you that this makes the less populated servers more playable, cause you won't have to do the hellish grind to get basic items on mb.

Will people make less money? probably, but overall this enables people on locked servers to play with their newbie friends who had to create a character on a non-locked server, and that's awesome.

It's done nothing positive for any game it's been added to. Short term it seems nice, but long term it causes the sense of community to degrade to the point there is none and thus people leave for games that don't have this.

There are better solutions. And if you're inviting a friend to play, chances are you're wanting that friend in the FC you're in. This cannot be done cross-world. By its design it's counter intuitive to community and the social aspect.

Servers don't have communities. Straight up, they don't. They're too big. That's like saying a state has a community. FCs and Linkshells are communities.

Wow cross server fails become of how much it limits your interaction with other players on different servers like no trading and very little control of the server you can cross over too

No, the cross server features may help put an end to the absurd prices found on other MBs. Never played wow but I lived on FFXI for years. Hunts seem similar to NM from there. No one waited for when those popped, not sure why you expect people to wait here. Maybe SE and can do something about that though without touching the cross world implementation.

As someone who enjoys making gil I hate crossworld as it makes it almost impossible to hard-corner a market, as a decent human being who thinks that it is unfair that people have to pay a lot more for something than it is worth and who really likes the ability this gives for everyone to be RPing on an RP server on their data center I think this is a good thing. So it got its ups and downs, but fundamentally I think it is a good thing overall for the game.

More crafters and hunters being mad they don't have their precious exclusivity anymore. Just be lucky it's still not like WoW's or dare I say, GW2's system, where it's an actual megaserver with everyone thrown in at the same time.

Then you don't understand what communities are.

No, what you think is the community of your server, is actually just a smaller portion of your server you happen to interact with.

A server has thousands of players. There is no way they are all like minded.

That is literally what communities are. You just proved me right. /facepalm.....
