Instanced Raids Unveiled!

[Toffy]

I'm worried about both, but the focus of my rage is more important on the requirement issue for now. Both are bad ideas by the developers.

Just my 2 cents on the whole party requirement issue

First im on a weird Playtime since i am in Brazil so when i play on a bit of both NA(east) and Jpn primetimes.

I dont think its a bad idea fomr the developers

This party requirement is another attempt from SE to "force" people to actually "mmo"(i use it as a verb for getting to know people , NEW people, and actually try to get toguether for stuff)... Same as with their early attempts of the market(wich failed but thats another thread.. or several actually)

Its based on an eastern mentality (again my parents are both asians from there so yeah i do know a bit about their mentality) that people WILL try to again mmo to get stuff done or in this case complete a party for the dungeons.

So they are trying even though as like everything else they tryed to force on the player base to connect it might fail badly.

Specially on the western gamers wich IMO are much more self centered or ls centered or even small group of friends centered and have a really hard time connecting outside their group of friends.


Fun fact : even with all the bad stuff one of their "attempts" the party search system actually works wonders on jpn prime time if you ever tryed it. It fills entire levepartys in matters of seconds of searching on these times. why doesent it work on NA baffles me. I always get my leves done in a couple hours on jpn prime time even with half of them not accepting me(JP onry) because theres plenty... again with the dwindling server population and all. No wonder jpn want their own servers lol

PS im sry about my spelling english is not my main language ^^ also its not my intention to attack anyone just my take on the different cultures i learned form this + 6 years of ffxi
