Community Petition: "Get out of Ul'dah"

[darkstarpoet1]

True point, but i think alot of it had to do with we had less mode of travel (just the ferry and anima i believe, which SHOULD have been mildy sufficent, but i'm digressing.) and it was just a hassle to alot of us and we screamed to the high heavens to make it go away...now, we can travel much easier thanks to airships and chocobos, so perhaps a re-implementation of the old purchase abilites would help? Maybe not, but Ul'dah is so cluttered i just send tells to whoever is on my friends list that is bold enough to travel through it...and if they come across something of interest to me, i just pay them back the gil, and sleep in grid.

but the point is the game had something that gave people a reason to go to other cities. people cried it wasn't a good thing to have so it was removed. those same people are now complaining that there needs to be something to make people go to other cities. if they add something to make people leave uldah again people will just cry about it again because if forces the majority to do something that only the minority wants.

be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.

Yeah, it's either going to be a delicate balance or a complete cluster f$%k, i never complained much about traveling to limsa for blacksmithing, and i'll have an excuse to go back now to finish up armoring. As it was said, the commuinty isn't fully at fault, but they did change alot because we were the ones unhappy, hindsight being 20/20 i bet alot of people who complained are probably kicking themselves. Should the servers be alot more stable, yes, and can they do that if they wanted to, probably. They are probably hard at work for 2.0 and garuda and the couple dozen other things they need to do without hearing "oh yeah Ul'dah's laggy too."...if we ALL want to be in this gaming comunity, and we all want it to work, we could give them a break by spreading out, but that's just me.

Honestly, the problem with this is that going to another city means you are single-tasking. You resign yourself to just that task since the /sh for groups will still be in Uldah. A reasonable search function would help this a bit but, even in XI someone would invite you and then ask you to gather at either the camp or WG (more commonly WG) so the problem is still going be there.

i'm not saying people should leave uldah. i think it is perfectly fine the way it is honestly. i stay there because that's where i want to be and because the groups i run with all have their base there. i was just saying that people are complaining that people are there, but complained when there was a reason to be in other cities.
