Raid Only Server

This sounds horrible and unneccessary I must say.

Maybe in a perfect world but there's no reason for them to spend resources on something so futile when you can just find a static by putting up an ad in party finder.

why not do what ppl in ff11 did, make a raid LS. Set up events on the lodestone. why have just a static of 8-24-48 why not just make a LS dedicated to raiding. Or if u up for it. Make a FC dedicated to raiding as that is an option on the fc tags. I don't why ppl just make a small static when they can have a much bigger pool of ppl to do this content with -shruigs- So when ppl are out or family stuff comes up you have someone who can fill in.

I'm all for options, but from my experience these servers don't end well. TRhats what LS/and FC are suppose to be about finding like minded people to play with.

I think the problem is less that there aren't enough places to find the people looking to raid, and more a problem of people not wanting to raid because they don't value rewards they currently receive from doing so. People can already go to Idyllshire and spam shout all day; but if there isn't anyone interested in doing the content it's kind of pointless.

You are messing up something you were successful at previously Square. Fix gaem plz.

It will probably be *hard* and may take a while to implement *if* they ever consider it. But other MMO's have done this before, so I wouldn't say it's impossible. But with Yoshida saying everything has a *quote* 'data limitation' *end quote*, we may never see this happen.
But IF, just maybe IFFFFF we can get a raid server where anyone from any regional server whether that be JP\NA\EU can join can play... this will possible create a much larger end-game raiding community.

Somehow, I think this will cause more drama than a static. "Why the f*** are you on a raid server when you suck?" lol... I can see it now.

Can just use the coil/alexS lobby room as a cross server instance as a starting point (the one you go into after finishing)

I would very much welcome this idea if it is possible to be implemented. On my server, there's still only one group that has cleared A3S as of now. In such a casual server like mine, it is almost impossible to find a good raid group. Then when you do land in one and the group has to replace someone, it's really hard to find a good replacement so it holds back the entire raid group. Needless to say, it becomes very difficult to progress in a casual server. Having a dedicated server for each data center for raiding only would allow everyone in the data center to access a much larger pool of raiders. Hence making it much easier to find or replace people. It would make the raiding experience much more enjoyable. As of now, I only log in a few days a week to raid and if that is taken away from me, I have no use for playing this game any longer.

*SNIP*

A lot of servers are getting more casual players; new players playing this way or veterans slowing down. Might be a waste of server space if 100,000/4,000,000 legit people are there.

It's waste of resource

Unfortunately that is only the case in your perfect world.

I play in JST and my primetime is when everyone is either afk or having a drama in the courtyards. 0-2 PF's are common in my time. Now you may say 'just transfer', which means to leave everything you know behind, friends, FC, housing, LS, GIL. It's a BIG commitment to undertake just to find a static. WHICH is what I am actually doing.

Sorry but your comment logical, but ignorant to the world around us.
