Dear Square Enix, please consider this proposal.

I like the spam... I hate sitting in a hunt party waiting to find something, now I see shouts as I'm levelling a craft and quickly change to tank and join a party

Yeah, sometimes you just take it in stride. A couple of times when it's a little too quiet I've called out a blatantly fake coordinate to see what happens. Like "Tripod SS+ Rank - The Hunt - <insertcoordsthatleaddirectlytome>."

It's amazing to see 50 odd people show up.

Shepherd was actually the planned 1.0 third Disciple of Land.
Gathered from local wildlife, things like milk, honey, wool, eggs, etc.
Was axed in Alpha 2, I believe?

Any Alpha 1 1.0 players ever play/hear about SHP?

That would have actually been pretty cool. On a more serious note, with the introduction of Chocobo Stables and the ability to train not only your own, but other people's Chocobos, I really want to see the title "Chocokeeper" as a reward, as well as the Chocokeeper mask. If they could add that I would be so happy.
