    Party shouts in Gold Saucer

    First off, I understand completely why people shout for groups in the Gold Saucer. It's essentially the new Mor Dhona because of the fact that everyone's there, and if it really becomes a problem, one can always filter /shout, so yeah...

    Still, seeing shouts for raid groups and such in the place just feels off. You have the festive music playing, the atmosphere of games, prizes, and so on happening... it's basically an arcade-theme park-casino hybrid. A place that seemingly has no connection to the outside (besides Triad NPCs). Chances are, nearly everyone in the place is there for the reason of being at the Gold Saucer to do things related to it (if not just AFK). Seeing party shouts kinda kills the atmosphere to me lol.

    A place like Mor Dhona on the other hand was rather perfect for it. A meeting hub due to spacious areas, sounds of a bustling marketplace, NPCs that sell you endgame gear, etc. You generally go there for battle related content or story that involves some battle related content.

    Maybe I'm one of the few that see it that way. That inner RP... I guess. Pity to have to filter /shout to make it feel how it was supposed to, there's some fun conversations going on at times. At least until the appeal dies down and everyone migrates back to Mor Dhona... assuming that ever happens before Heavensward.
