OP mentioned how hard it was for new players to find their way in the Black Shroud. Well... who has!?

Map Redesigns need to happen. Smaller maps, each one unique in its own way, and you will be able to find your way much easier. Just because you got used to everything the way it is now doesn't mean everyone else is going to be. Hell, i was used to having a Jade Crook +2 and having awesome stats, now its a joke. I am dealing with these changes but they hit me hard. Map Resdesigns are going to throw us all off for a while but it is the future of FFXIV and i am sure we will have renewed that sense of exploration and will have great times figuring out the changes
