Coil = Segregation

[KraggyKor]

Thanks SE.. you've just turned my LS into nothing more than a social LS to me with a couple of inner circles who do all the events together leaving out others.

It's an MMO, Coil is end-game, this is what happens in most 'guilds' in all MMOs.

It's inevitable, some players want to play and have the skill to play the bleeding-edge content, the majority don't want to or aren't capable, those who can will usually form 'inner circles' withi a 'guild' or else go and form their own.

In FFXI it was common, indeed the 'norm', to have a 'social' LS and then specialised LSes for stuff like Dynamis, Sky, whatever, which they'd switched to for those events before going back to their main LS. Sadly that hasn't happened in XIV because SE made FCs so much more than LSes and you can only be in one FC, they made it exactly the same as WOW, Rift, LoTRO when XIV's LSes are noting more than private chat channels in games that support them.

Thus, SE designed XIV to reinforce the segregation motivation in players who otherwise may well have stuck around in a 'social' FC had they had the option to join extra 'content' FCs along the lines of FFXI.
