Thank you, Square, for listening to the majority.

Jowy, I can guarantee you that the world visit issue, while it may not be the main problem for you personally, was a massive problem here on Mateus. For all but the last round of concerted works, people on this server couldn't even get into the Firmament for hours at a time because trolls from Balmung would roll in to spam "THIS IS NOW BALMUNG FIRMAMENT". The idea of having world-visit work for the Firmament was to encourage friends and fellowships to perhaps help each other out so that servers could all progress, but this was thoroughly ruined by trolls who would either leech rewards from the server or would lock players out of their own server's instance.

We may disagree that world visit in Firmament wasn't the main issue, but it was a big enough issue that SE and Yoshida himself had to address it. Them's the facts.

I wouldn't call it a massive problem either simply because even without world visiting, you have 9132 active players on Mateus and only 300 can participate (3.3%). So with world visiting, that number would be between 0% to 3.3% of the actual world's inhabitants. So the remaining 96.7% in that world who aren't able to participate due to the way they implemented this FATE are a significant number, which makes the implementation itself the massive problem.
