Yuweyawata Field Station is so wrong

[Mawlzy]

Well my issue would be that I do care for the community since it's where I meet cool people and interact with them. It's an MMO. The game being pushed more and more as a solo experience is antithetical to the general experience. It removes people from roulettes which makes the experience for people wanting to play the multiplayer aspect of the game worse which, I assure you without any statistical backing to my claim, is undoubtedly bigger than the group of people who play the game and want an easy mode.

I would suggest that MSQ dungeons and trials specifically are precisely the last place you'd meet "cool people." There's nothing social about Duty Finder. You're lucky to get a "o/" or a "gg" when people are running them as fast as possible, largely thanks to the tome grind. The only exception I can think of is Prae because of the unskippable cut scenes.

Moreover, for those not grinding tomes, the time most of them spend in DF duties is miniscule relative to other content.

The multiplayer aspect of the game shines in exploration zones, hunt trains, some FATEs, and Frontline where communication and cooperation are required. I'm not personally interested in venues and the like, but presumably that is where you go if you want to meet people and experience the multiplayer aspect of the game. Duty Finder? Bottom of the list.

Running dungeons is a means to and end. All Duty Finder emphasizes is how anti-social many players are.

It also runs into the issue of what happens with you AFTER you finish the content, since MSQ content is made to be rerun. You may not care about tomes, but a lot of people like to level alts and get tomes for new gear.

The content isn't made to be rerun, it used to need to be rerun (from SQEX's perspective) to help sprouts advance the MSQ. Those who need tomes for raiding can continue to use DF; that's not the population we're addressing anyway. Besides, there are plenty of other ways to get tomes. The main purpose of roulettes is to bribe people into rerunning content. For MSQ dungeons, this has been rendered obsolete by Duty Support.
