(unless you put enormous amount of shields on your whole party just to reply).

Is this that outrageous? Really?

Can't even search for people that are on other worlds much less tell, so good luck finding them

Can't join a party while fishing

Can't enter a map dungeon if someone is mounting/dismounting or the party is still recruiting

Can't attack something that moves too close to you

Can't do...anything while on a mount, even though they became mandatory to get around

Can't meld materia too...quickly or something, still no clue what causes that

I said rolo and ur answer: all of them.

Honestly, what’s a “rolo”? If you mean roulettes, this is the first time I see this abbreviation.

Clearly their new shiny toy will be FFXIV mobile and that's what we gonna get as a new update sooner or later lol

Where did I call it outrageous? I was speculating and trying to find a scenario in which I personally would know that the party would be 100% fine without any mitigation required after replying to a /tell. Of course I have replied to /fc messages mid-fight too, but it always had consequences I had to deal with after - and that was my whole point and PERSONAL preference -> /tells during duty would be just additional distraction.

Oh, my bad. It sounded like you thought it was the most outlandish thing out there.

It's 2025, and I still just want a modern day MMO friends list with the usual, completely normal features to be implemented.

Surely, if I remove somebody from my friends list, it's completely logical to expect me to be removed from the other players too?

Completely baffles me why this isn't a thing. I absolutely don't buy the years old excuse that JP players were afraid of scenarios where an unfriended player asks them why they're no longer friends.

Why do you care if you're still on their list? You're either on their list or they can still just search you up in-game. Not coming at you, genuinely curious.

What would be the benefit of being able to receive /tells in a duty? I’m more than happy with how it’s now. It helps with focus if it’s harder content I’m in.

"Im not affected by it and refuse to show any sort of empathy for it whatsoever"

That pretty much sums up the forums.

The limitation on tells in duties is nothing to do with technical limitations and a deliberate design choice, because SE doesn't want players using it to harrass party members when things go wrong and then escape back to their home server without repercussions

Interesting, but at this point in the game they could be reported for it easily and it's easy to travel to their world and reply now.

There's no reason not to allow tells from outside in Field Operations though. More of the chat operations could be made like FC and CWLS chats.
