Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

A second hand-in NPC would definitely be a good idea. Perhaps they could put it at the guildleve counter?

Everyone would still be able to participate. That's the only problem that had to be solved. You seem to be upset that people weren't contributing, but they aren't contributing now, either.

The only thing that had to be solved is that people should be able to participate. That isn't solved on large servers with this change. Therefore, this isn't the best solution.

FYI, one hour before FATE, Balmung is already congested even without world visit. So really amazing fix, locking out the actually active people interested in content.

While the AFKing does sound like a problem (and maybe a difficult one to solve without manual policing of the zone) the change DOES have the intended effect of letting more people participate because now a full 300 natives of each server are able to be there.


Say there are eight servers - this should mean 2400 people get to experience the event.


If a group of 50 people is server-hopping:

50 people do the event eight times each.

8 x 250 = 2000 people do the event once.

A total of 2050 people got to participate, while 350 people miss out on joining in because their spots were taken by the people who did it repeatedly.


Increase the server-hopping group to 100.

100 people take multiple turns.
1600 people do it once.

1700 have participated and 700 have missed out.


Whatever other effect these changes have, it will undeniably return that participation to a full 2400 people getting one turn each, and not being able to take a second one.
