Greenlight NA and EU Travel

[Ardeth]

My only issue with traveling is how incompetent SquareEnix was when they implemented it. As an idea, it sounds cool. I got nothing against it. I don't raid, and I don't really care what it does to the party finder. The duty finder being borked yeah, but that is SquareEnix's problem. They are the dumb ones for giving the players that much power.

So until the tech catches up and 14 can catch up to games like Wow, you're gonna have this problem.

It's a waiting game at this point. But I'm not anti-travel.

I cannot speak for most of EU, but from what I've seen on the server I'm on:
- Most players do not care about what race you play and you will likely rarely get harassed for it if at all.
- They understand the concept of 18+
- LFGs for Hunt or FATE trains are declared in the open world, likely in the area they will take place
- Shouters are ignored or mocked.
- Many respect the roles of other players and will likely wait for the healer or tank should they lag behind for some reason (like they don't have their gap closer or sprint is on cooldown, or perhaps rolling on loot).
- RP is about quality not quantity, and OOC issues are tried to be resolved per tell, while keeping in-character.
- RP is organized over Discord, wchich has the advantage that they cannot get harassed by shouters or nightclub owners.
- Marketboard prices are still terrible, but there are usually people who sell things cheaper.
- Also no actual Gil is involved outside nightclubs.

I also like to travel between countries. Some of my fav streamer are from countries apart.

I talked about this before in other threads, but I like the idea of being able to travel between EU and NA servers. I don't know how much it would affect the raiding, but I have played on both EU and NA on my main and would like to visit friends again more easily. With the new blacklist system too, it makes it a bit harder for people to bother you (I would think, but who knows.)

Didn't they say they would enable it if people asked? This is us asking, SE. I want to be able to visit my friends on NA.

That they did, which is why this thread exists.

I would love to have this enabled.

I don't care about raiding, but would point out one thing which people seem to be missing when worrying that EU raiders will suddenly want to invade the US DC; prime time for raiding on the NA DC is late night/early morning in the EU, anyone who wants to raid at 3am in their local time is likely already playing on the NA DC.

If you greenlight this I surely hope you had no plans to visit Aether ever in your lifetime if your main character isn't already there.

This is the point I've been trying to make in this thread. It's not a bad idea at some future time but this is absolutely not the time to implement this. NA DC players can't freely visit our own DCs right now unless it's Dynamis because of the restrictions put in about congested servers. Some DCs have only congested servers. A lot of people on other DCs get around this (my own static's Dynamis member for instance) by coming over at an early morning point when a server isn't congested and then parking on the DC for the time they want to do content there. So our servers never become non-congested. Now there would be the potential that EU players could come over and do the same thing and might even prevent some people who can travel now from being able to travel. It's not a good time for DC Travel on NA DCs.

It's not a bad idea for the future but SE has GOT to fix this issue where we can't even visit each other among our own region's DCs freely before they add EU doing it to the mix.
