The Savage loot design makes it a burdensome chore that's less fun than it could be

[Vyrerus]

I cannot tell you how many times my PF descriptions have been blatantly ignored.
Maybe on paper that should be the solution, but in practice it is not.
Hell, I can't even put "please have materia" in the PF description and expect everyone to observe it.

Heck, on Tonberry wether I was doing reclears in DF, RF, or even PF we used macros to get everyone on the same page, because while it's not necessary it made everyone's life easier.

In my experience, people almost never read PF description, even if it's short and sweet. Macros are definitely welcome in my book, but I can't remember the last time I saw one. I want to say there was a macro going around on Aether back in Sigmascape Savage, but it's been a minute. Mainly for Guardian and its circles me thinks.

If people ignore PFs, they are gonna ignore macros. They are gonna do what they want and there's not really much you can do to change them.

Thats basically the issue with the western payerbase.. the level of ignorance and entitlement to be carried mentallity.. Where on the eastern side the difference in attitude and mentality isexactly why the DF/RF is so much more successful.

The western problems are commnity related more than design related... with the exception of the loot restrictions. thats a very counter productive rule for an MMO to actually exclude friends from helping each other. when MMOs are all about playing together with friends.

It's not the game's fault you don't have time to raid.

Big true. Tuesday reset is a global mmo thing with the big names. That’s life!
