Camping nms back in the day might have been "boring" and not fun but at least the community and making new friends and talking to people is what made things fun and made the wait more tolerable then it would be if we had a similar system in ff14 where no one really seems to want to talk unless your in a discord call or server because no one wants to use in game chat in games anymore.
