Something needs to be done about Party Finder outside of Aether

[Defmetal]

It's too late for this in my opinion. People have already created the mindset of what DC serves what purpose, and in their minds Aether serves the purpose of being the raiding DC.

If you took this action now people would either quit, or migrate their characters to Aether permanently.


No. The answer is obvious. We've been saying it for a long time now. Cross-DC Party Finder. That's all.

Cross-DC party finder is definitely the way, but if SE doesn't recognize the damage its causing now then it won't prioritize it.
I suspect without confirming that the JP data centers don't have a problem like this. If they did surely SE would take notice and fix it

So the best thing we can do is bring up that this has become a problem. It was ok last tier, this tier it's -dead-. Primal went from possible to impossible in a few months.

It might auto fix itself, who knows. SE can for-sure fix it by merging the PF within the region. And this would only benefit the game to have more parties to choose from. When you see 100 parties that meet your criteria you'll more likely find what you want rather than trying to make one of the four parties available work

EXAMPLE: Last night we were bored on primal. (note I have cleared this tier, not all friends and LSmates have). We looked up P11S - 0 parties. Looked up P10S - 0 parties. Looked up Orthos - 0 parties. Looked up Golbez - 0 parties. Looked up Ultimates - 1 party for UWU, nothing else. Looked up the weekly Unreal - 0 parties. Tried making my own, 60 minutes, 1 person joined (in addition to the two I had with me to start it). Disbanded after 60 minutes with 4 players.
This is not sustainable for retaining players.
