It's something we brought up when it was announced, but SquareEnix, in their ignorance, released it without a safty net. And now we're here. I've lost patience with players dumb enough to cause problems for themselves.

Now, if it was me, I'd shut that shit down. You'd have to do everything that causes lockouts on your home server. Close Aether because y'all will just keep dog piling onto it like lemmings off the cliff. Give really good incentives to play on the other 3 servers.

It started with good intentions, and then people abused it. "Break" it and leave it broken until you can remove it from being an issue.

Sincerely, a player who told you this feature would kill communities before it was released. Multiple times. You reap what you sow. Now fix your shit.
