[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[KitaiAryik]

It took them years to address the dogpiling Aether issue with this change. Clearly they weighed the options and decided the damage these restrictions would do is less damage to the game than leaving most DCs a dead husk. Look around, outside of this thread which isn't even that active, there's hardly any complaint across the community. It seems most people are enjoying their servers being alive again. The game did just fine before DC travel ever existed, it's not going anywhere over these travel restrictions.

if it was "fine" before DC travel, what is the point of even introducing it in the first place? so we can actually play with friends on different DCs so we wouldn't have to pay for xfers or just making another character on that DC in the first place. that is the whole point of the system. that and the failure to put in a solution to ppl dogpiling as you put it on aether with DC travel is a failure on SEs part since the people that do manage to squeeze in the DC in the mornings to Aether just AFK just so they don't have to fight to get back in with the timer removed, so this isn't the solution you think it is. if it's such an issue, DC travel wouldn't be re-enabled to aether even in its restricted state. and only NA is affected with this. and to top it off, EU/JP would have these same restrictions in place yet only NA is affected with any lockdowns/restrictions on character creations and DC travel restrictions. yet they were fully enabled some time ago on both the EU and JP regions.

not all of us raid and all of my own friends happened to be on Aether when i myself joined FF14 recently here, and being unable to create a character as is on that DC with it being locked off AND restricted to top it off, i have to make each and every one of them travel to me here on primal when it would be easier just to have myself go to them to hang out and have them play with me or anything else for that matter even for something as simple as wanting to show me their house but not being able to due to restrictions . the fact that we have to jump through hoops to do so for a game we pay for every 2 yrs on top of a monthly sub to not be able to play with those friends, we have every right to want the restrictions removed. all this is is a hinderance on the social aspects of the game is more damaging than you think or even want to admit. just because you don't have a problem with it doesn't mean we don't and wont stop voicing it til it gets removed and get to play with friends again without going out of our way in doing it.
