DC travel just makes PF raiding harder than it should

[CidHeiral]

This is just objectively false. If you were on Primal, sure. Crystal? Not a chance. Even at prime hours they were barely any parties up.

Crystal certainly had a smaller raiding scene but to say there were no parties in primetime is untrue.

You're also disregarding the sheer volume increase. Yes, it's annoying to travel, but for everyone on Aether, be it their main MC or via travel, you have upwards of 100 parties to choice from instead of 20-30. That pool is significant when people's prog points will vary wildly. It's better to have 10 parties up on Aether for phase 2 of M8S than those same 10 parties split across three DCs.

This is a non-issue. Everyone cleared just fine with the parties available before DC travel.

Then there's Dynamis, which would be completely dead without DC travel.

DC travel is why Dynamis is dead.

Yet another thing you try to pass as fact that is factually wrong

Dynamis is a dead DC, and there's not enough population for 4 worlds, let alone 8, we are way past the WoW Exodus, the population has gone downhill, not up. Now might be a good time to stop coping that somehow Dynamis is a lively DC and will "eventually" grow to a fully functional DC, meanwhile the population is down to extremely low levels that havent been reached in years, Dynamis is the equal to Materia, and guess why Materia is dead ? Because there's no DC travel, people moved there, saw the population being very low, and went back to Tonberry or other JP servers, because they were stuck on there with barely anyone to play, if anything DC travel saved Dynamis, without DC travel it'd be an absolute ghost town even worse than it is now.

Don't see any chance of XDC-PF until you can freely move around data centers without logging off, even if NA is physically in the Sacramento data center, they are using a character-injection method that requires a logoff, that is also why you get that arrived safely message, the injection isn't guaranteed due to capacity and many other factors. Basically there are many underlying issues to even get to that point.

[Nero-Voidstails]

the facts that alots of player also left doesn't help either but I do agree that I do see decent pf for raiding in crystal everyday.

They kind of ruined my PF raiding when they split the JP data center and moved my homeworld to a new one, where raiding population is scarce. I can hardly find any M8s parties during gaming hours and I'm forced to travel elsewhere.

when there are many parties to chose from people will more likely leave the party because of small things. since theres always another potentially better group.
dont really use pf so thats just a guess.
