Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

[Mirhd]

To be honest, if you weren't able to get into the instance of your own world, then you're mostly not contributing to your world yourself lol. So you're no different than a wanderer profiting from the work of others.

Reading shout chat in my server's firmament before the FATE starts, and it's (again) composed of people from off-world bragging about getting in, how they didn't contribute and are here solely for the FATE, etc. Things are dire NOW, Yoshi P. I do appreciate the work that goes into maintaining a game like this, but it really is ridiculous that this happened to begin with, and that - somehow - it currently isn't seen as a problem. It's been proven time and time again, that if something can be exploited, many less conscientious people will take advantage of it. Those of us that don't engage in this server hopping garbage shouldn't be forced to wait for those that do to profit off our work before we can even gain access to our own server's firmament.

Not wanting to miss out again, I've been sitting in the firmament for well over an hour and a half, crafting food items when I ran out of restoration mats. I would have gone out to farm more if area congestion due to the huge influx of wanderers wasn't an issue. And to those that try to excuse this behavior... I'd rather stay in here and deny a server hopper a spot for something they never contributed to. Absolutely absurd, this whole situation.

A previous post I made in this thread. I actually have been doing turn ins, and given your responses in this thread, I'm seriously doubtful you have.

I suggest you stop getting so defensive and actually argue with what I'm arguing, not with ad hominems and strawmen.

Or you can not. No use going back and forth if you're just going to keep bringing up things I'm not debating.

You're really stretching it with your claims, here. I addressed what you brought up, which was brought up by others also against this change (multiple times, I addressed this...) but you chose to ignore it, for whatever reason. Again, instances on their own would solve nothing. Those who weren't contributing would continue on that path, hopping from FATE to FATE, profting off the work of others, offering nothing in return. For the last time, high pop servers that experience congestion can have instances implemented, but again, why they didn't do that from the get-go is anyone's guess.

Bottom line - SE has the hard data to back up the exploitation of the system, and they acted as they saw fit.
