Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Problem ain't that world visit is allowed.
Problem is that they didn't make it an event for high lvl crafters only, cause god forbid they make non-pve content that not everyone and his mother can participate in.

Yeah, it's terrible when more people can participate, isn't it.

Just watch how soon, everyone is an omnicrafter and the entire point of this sub-community is gone when market boards are swamped with cheap product, and barely anybody except gathering bots makes much money off of it anymore. But I think the REAL problem is that crafting can fail! Its so hard, so stressful, to those poor new crafters, such a difficulty to suffer through, to get to the King Kong mount, right? Why does it have to be so HARD? Make it a tapping game like on mobile!

[Aramyth]

He said if they keep doing it there are going to turn on emergency features to lock them out of the zone but they want to watch what happens over the next few days first.

In other words, we have to wait until the asshats get their mounts, glamour, minions etc before they stop behaving like entitled children and wait our turn.

I missed the fate last night on my server, locked out. I refuse to go to another server to "help them". They don't need my help, the fate is literally clicking on three things.

What on earth are you on about?

In other words, chill and see what happens over the next few days.

Yeah, people got those day 1, likely before phase 1 finished (I had harambe and glam before we even hit our fate, for instance)

More people participating isn’t the issue. People participating at the expense of others is the problem.

[Orchidias]

Nothing to do about lording over others and everything to do with fun. A challenging system can be fun for some people. The current system where you just craft everything with a one button macro is not. As it is, I do my crafting while watching something else on a second screen. An activity should be engaging. Crafting in its current form is not.

To each their own, but some places don't actually need inaccessible content locked to a select few players who have more time and motivation to put everything into them. I've been trying to mentor newcomers and they're enjoying crafting in ffxiv as being a lot more rewarding than other game. Making it unnecessarily complicated doesn't make the rewards worth it, it just makes people confused and not want to do it if the risk of failure is higher than reward. We already have people being toxic in endgame battle content, after all. Let crafting and gathering not become that.

[Gula]

Agreed. This is ridiculous.

I'm 100% disappointed in the implementation of this and the complete failure to consider the reprocussions of certain scenarios from the devs.


Bad implementation.

Who are you to say something is a failure when you're not the one seeing SE's profits or internal data for XIV? Edit: Heck, it hasn't even been 72 hours!

[Ladon]

In other words, chill and see what happens over the next few days.

Normally I would agree with this; however we are talking about people missing one-time events that they will not be able to participate in again.

This is something that needs to be addressed now, not in a few days after numerous one time events have lapsed.
