Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X! (Duty Roulette)

[Gucci_Charms]

Can we please have cross-server friend chat and friend instant/quest joining support?

Many of us would like to befriend new friends or play with friends who are currently scattered across multiple servers at some time without migrating to a different server to play or chat with them.

Since this is for patch 2.1 can u show us a live 4v4 battle of PvP since The last trailer did not do it any justice.It can be prerecorded battle if thats easier,just want to see one whole real pvp battle.

Regarding the actual implementation of the Duty Roulette:

Say I queue solo as tank to Duty Roulette. Will I be sent first to the duty that has been waiting for a tank for the longest? Or will I simply to sent to a random duty that may not even have people waiting for tanks?

My question can also be worded from a different viewpoint:

Is the Duty Roulette primarily aimed to help resolve long wait times on duties that are not popular (e.g. leveling dungeons), or is Duty Roulette primarily aimed to provide alternative sources of tomestones?

I understand you guys don't want ppl rushing thru content but the amount of time it takes to get the gear it's ridiculous. Can we get a statement if this will be changed or at the very least when we cap can I get myth tombs for other jobs. Plz do something thanks.

can you enter the duty roulette with a party or must you be alone?

Was the decision to segregate the game worlds for Duty Finder purely a technical one (and therefore also reversible), or was it a design decision? When we found out that Legacy world characters couldn't move to non-Legacy ones, my last chance to play along with the 20+ friends on another world was the cross-world match ups of Duty Finder, but sadly Excalibur and Ultros don't link for that sort of thing...

Can the Duty Finder be updated so we could select multiple jobs to queue with and we join with whichever is required first? For example, I could join as both SCH and BLM and will fill whichever role (DPS or Healer) is available first?

will emergency maintenance become rarely after 2.1?

Question:
Will we be able to have the leader of the duty party, the one who determines if we want to search for other player if someone quits, be able to kick players from the party, if they are annoying, getting disconnected too much or refusing to take some friendly advices so that we could clear the dungeon/instance. For example, if the tank doesn't move out of the poisonpools spitted by the last boss in Brayflox's Longstop, thus making it iimpossible to kill, even if we tell him to move out of them and s/he ignores us, or just throws some comment of "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING YOU ****** STFU" would make the dungeon/instance experience more enjoyable.
