Stories that focus on the individual should never require parties.

I think Murugan Raj lives in a magical world, and plays on a wonderful server where people join shout stuff and do things together.

Actually I think we do, everyday I log on I'm glad I chose Selbina/Ridill as my starting server, almost everyone is helpful and we have a great community on our server. I enjoy going out to Hamlet and giving/getting /wave's from everyone out there and talking about how things are going that night. I am also an officer in one of the biggest social LS's on the server and I am always telling my members to help others out because they might need help one day, remember it's a two way street and if you are not helping others on your server then chances are they are not gonna drop what they are doing to help you. The one thing that will save people that have little time to do things will be the content finder, I will not be using it personally but I actually think it is needed (this is kinda your scale-able content as I think people in FC's that complete content together will get more rewards)
If you live in a bad community you can stay inside and keep to yourself or you can go out and make the community better, if you say see a /sh for BRD body AF and you need MNK body AF /tell them you will help if they can help you, don't think you will get too many "no" answers.
Bottom line, yes maybe we need some more solo content but no don't make everything "soloable", make some friends and better your servers community, it's a win/win so to say.

You act like i havent tried any of this, you completely ignored when I stated i have tons of friends on my friends list, 50+ prolly 100, to lazy to count but well full enough of 1 page online at a time, a lot just dont have time to help, or they're in endgame ls's and "cant help" or dont want to because they've done "x content x amount of times" and strained out on it.

I've joined shouts, i've shouted myself, I've helped tons of people, i've joined many linkshells, social and endgame.

Gungnir is a lot different, and it is HUGELY different if you're not EU. EU have it worst i think, as there is very few linkshells. Maybe I should have gone to Ragnarok, but everyone says its bad there lol. But its seeming to be my only choice right now.

With only a few hundred people online when I play, many of them dont do things, with people shouting for hours. I have joined to just get stuff done for the sake of it, like an AV win or CC win, but no go, because these are hotzones for "endgame onry" and people dont like PUG for them.

You also missed the fact that i said it took me 3 weeks to get my blm af body, that was coming on every damn day, shouting or joining shouts until eventually just got really lucky that 4 people needed it and some was litterally begging, saying they will give 100k then 200k to people to just join...

Dont need 8 people for Ifrit, dont need 8 for everything out there, sure scale it for 8 but remove the restriction, it is not needed but just causes hassle.

I didn't mean to single you out sorry, just thought your quote fit what I wanted to say. It's a shame that your server doesn't have many people on it when you are on, and hopefully the content finder will help you in this aspect. But changing the content to "scaleable" while might sound good would only hinder the drive to make this a "social" game. They have lessened the restrictions on alot of content, AV/CC/DH are all enterable with 4 people and the final AF fights are not that hard to 6 man (except BRD, that one always pisses me off) I was just trying to get people to raise their server community up to what we have on Ridill. See someone you partied with, /wave to them; see a /sh in town that you have cleared with ease, teach new players how to also; these people will remember that, there are not that many people on a server that you shouldn't know a vast majority of them. Don't kill me but "Coming in 2.0" ><

Yeh the coming in 2.0 is seeming to be the only answer. I can understand why more and more people are giving up and waiting, though likely not for same reasons for this subject.

It is great they lessened the restrictions for a lot of content, but why have them at all? Why do I need 4 people for AV/CC/DH? Why cant i go in solo, why do i need 8 people for Primal, why cant i go in with 2-3 friends?

Why do SE put these restrictions in at all and not allow us the chance? Is it because if their QA team cant do it we cant? That would be a lame excuse, especially when after Garuda I find their QA to be not very good lol real players are much better.

I hope the "content finder" helps as you will find more which make it a little easier, but the restrictions are just not needed at all.

Answer this: Why should you be allowed to do content solo? Why should you allow people to low man 'hard' battle content? You do know that causes more problems than help, right?

"/shout looking for members, Ifrit/Moogle/Garuda, only need 2 highly skilled experienced players!"

Or in linkshell

"Anyone wanna do Ifrit/Moogle/Garuda? Need 2 people, preferably, double-triple melded gear and x class to 50 with (list of sub abilities)"

Removing restrictions actually causes people to create their own set of restrictions (If you've played any MMO, you can't say you've never seen this happen before.)

Your comment is invalid because it already happens with the current system. Weather restricted or not, people create restrictions for themselfs, eg Job stacking (arch onry, lnc onry, war onry etc....), specific setups and the whole Garuda exploit is proof.

Therefore, what's the problem with the current system? Restrictions will happen regardless if SE does it or if players does it.
