Yes, but there is already inclusive content in the game. The new raids. This content would be fun and a nice change of pace. Contested Dungeons are VERY different from normal ones.

Its not very friendly.

That last sentence may be an obstacle to this type of content. FFXIV almost litterally goes out of it's way to encourage teamplay, cooperative play and friendliness. Preventing players from verbaly griefing others is why 'tells' dontwork in dungeons. I'm also not sure that the highly contested element pitching warriors of light against each other fits the game.

For people who are concerned about the best of the best farming the place: RNG, competition. If you were one of the best of the best, would you spend time farming A Rank (and above) level hunts to compete with 7-23 additional people for a potentially low % chance of a i210 drop (which could have horrible stats for your job), or would you just farm Savage with no more than 7 other people to compete with for a 100% chance of a i210 drop (with stats designed to be good for your job)?

I guess I'm excited to run Void Ark and the new dungeons. Not excited for the overwhelming amount of RNG this patch looks to be bringing. :/

If you ignore the sky content that's on you, that content in itself seems to offer a more wide variety of things to do compared to what a 3rd dungeon would "add" in terms of roulette.

They literally made me swallow my words, seriously proud of SE. An actual NEW system to obtain equipment that isn't irrelevant, a different way of doing things.

Please more of this SE, you have gained my subscription.

Its not very friendly. However its not meant for the weak.

Contested Content if its done right usually survives a lot longer then average dungeons.

Other parties mean the content is more dynamic, which means its less boring.

It is almost certainly not going to have anything to do with PVP. It's been left out of the translations but Yoshi-P basically emphasized that if you meet other parties out in the field you can chat with them and work together (チャットしながら進んでください）. Zero mention of fighting them, and frankly it makes sense because it would be really stupid for alliances of 24 people to just run around whomping anyone who dares queue solo or as a small group lol.

Way to be a douche, douche.

If you did your hw before complaining about a minigame that will be a part of the MVG, the end all be all of serious content /rollseyes, then you would be aware that they already said none of those minions will provide any huge advantages.

I'm ready for those exploratory missions (and of course the Void Ark)
Give them to me

Pimps. Hope you had fun and get some much needed rest on that vacation.

At this point RNG is slang for "you're not allowed to have what you want, but please keep subscribing."
