Welcome Back Campaign Fail

Heh, feels like Deja Vu in a way. Few people I know tried to come back and mostly wanted to see what jobs had to offer. Sure enough, they got to the AF phase and a majority of them hit a brick wall when it came to the duneon/body parts since everyone pretty much has their AF at this point and doesn't want to help a total stranger. Heck, someone offered 100K ea. for help just to get his. Pretty bad you need to rely on the kindness of strangers (or pay them) just for something that simple.

IIRC you also criticized the fact people that came back also had no ability to post feedback in another topic, which I totally agree with was a bad move on SE's part. You'd think they'd actually want to listen to potential customers.

I cant confirm that. I kinda ran into a couple Groups doing AF-Runs and also Stuff like Darkhold/AV/CC.. people just joined them. Noone had to pay or shit like that. I see shouts really often, to be honest.

No one is saying "It is impossible to get AF or X Content done that Requires people" but it is very difficult.

Some servers can be busy, at all times of the day and people be able to get things done all the time. I find it very difficult to get any group stuff done being in the GMT Timezone when there is half late JP on and early day US on, but hardly, ever any shouts, I often just watch them while crafting, and some people shout for 2-3 hours straight lol. But then around 2-3 AM my time, when its evening in US, it can be shout frenzy and people able to do stuff.

The point is, a lot of things require specific set of conditions to do something: Be right server, right time, right zone, right requirements and have dumb luck.

I only managed to get my blm and war AF Recently after weeks of failed PT setups, not failed because people were bad, just we'd always be 4/8 or 6/8 or not have that 1 class we need (tank or healer).

I feel sorry for the people who are trying to experience as much as possible during the 10 times, it is also absolutely retarded of SE to do this during Diablo 3 time, are they bonkers? I dont even like the game but damn XIV has gone quiet on my server. Have 10 days free anytime but this time! Worse possible moment, especially when there is nothing to do.

Anyone who just came back, unless they have friends with ls's, i think will have a very hard time enjoying this game right now.

Maybe it's just on my server then. Despite Aegis being full, it is pretty much a ghost town. Just like Viion I see people shouting for AF, but the numbers are extremely low, like 3/8ish after an hour. I'm not sure how it is on other servers, but unless you managed to wind up on a server with old active friends/linkshell(s), you're in a very awkward position.
