Data-Center Travel has got to GO.

[Kazemon15]

There is a report player option built in the game. Nothing is stopping you from reporting them. At the end of the day Balmung got their reputation YEARS AGO long before data center travel was a thing. Then you just had members of Balmung's community do the stupidest thing ever to coincide with data center travel and buy those billboard ads. Your own community members actually created the flame to draw the moths, more so than the reputation Balmung has for being an RP server. You can avoid the congested zones, there are literally hundreds of other zones in game you can be in without being bothered by the temporary influx of travelers thanks to Rain Nightclub. Balmung does not deserve special privileges because of an increase in 2-3 city hubs in a game with multiple other maps and zones to get away from it.

Funny you say we can "avoid" the zones when one can only server hop in those said zones and/or turn in grand company items for seals there. If there is an alternative to that, please let me know. Or people like me replaying the game because I want to enjoy the story again and the quest takes me to Ul'dah and I can't even load in because of the influx? Sure a handful of people are over the top, that's just a given in most cases. But handful of people do not make the entire server. There may be less than 1000-500 people who rp vs the actual numbers of the server. I don't even know this nightclub thing and you talk like you expect everyone on the server are friends or are in cahoots with each other. We are not. So stop being so rude and dismissive just because your server isn't affected.

I don’t think anyone is condoning what the trolls are doing, but your argument is a false equivalence.

Reporting or kicking a player from content for the reasons listed is a vastly different thing then coming to the forums demanding that an entire system most of the game’s community enjoys innocently enough be removed because of a few bad apples.

People arent screaming for extremes or savages to be removed or ultimates because some players arent living up to their standards.

So why is it okay to demand that this entire system get demolished because some people are abusing it?

Should we get rid of party finder? Fellowships? Hard content? Pvp? Shout chat?

Where in my post did I say that I want the DC travel thing locked or take away? I was just defending their feelings that were being diminished because of the issue.
