"I play how ever I want to play... sometimes I want to watch Netflix while pressing three buttons... other times I want to afk till I get my rewards." AND NOW WITHOUT THE KICK FEATURE!

This is as much hilarious as sad. Now all the fate botters and pvp afkers are going to do airship missions instead - better stick to your friends and FCs.

On the other hand, if you get unfairly kicked, you're looking at a 2 hour lockout timer.

This. Definitely. It would be quite annoying to go into island exploration, only to immediately be kicked without reason. Suddenly you'll have a nice two hour wait before you can do it again, and hope the same thing doesn't happen once more.....

Jps have a site dedicated to witch hunting, naming and shaming players, knowing what players to avoid. helps a community as a whole

It only makes their community more toxic and newbie-unfriendly. And that feature can be easily abused as anyone can anonymously post any name they don't like on that site without providing any proof.

without providing any proof
how the hell is their claim gonna be accepted if they don't provide proof?
it's like accusing someone of stealing without giving proof.

toxic community and newbie unfriendly?
seriously. are you talking about NA?
Go back to GF zay.

on topic:
I don't mind the no kick feature, but not being able to replenish your rank is somewhat weird.
what if someone has an emergency and had to leave? disconnected and can't get back on?

Because not everyone has 23 friends available at all times? or a FC capable of assembling a full alliance.

They said even if you queue as an alliance, each party is potentially sent to different starting areas, and functions as separate parties inside. May be a mistranslation though.

I do wonder how the Ishgard queue system will work though. Does that mean if you can't pull together 8 people, you might be waiting some time to get in? I kinda just want to go in solo (or duo) at first and explore around/try out gathering.. take my time. I also would rather not deal with random strangers in party chat for exploration content. I sometimes disable shouts for that reason..

I've seen those 2chan balcklists, read their descriptions. There are no any proof involved in these shameful witchhunt practices.

the truth hurts

That's something that one who is stuck on their high horse would say.

of course you have.
I assume you have proof of that.

and let's not get off topic.
PM if you got proof.

[Xanikk999]

Why would you want to duty find it in the first place, the whole point of it is to go exploring with friends.

Not all of us have friends who are online the same time we are.

Jps have a site dedicated to witch hunting, naming and shaming players, knowing what players to avoid. helps a community as a whole, so even if leechers become a problem, they won't get far for long there, NA side, however. i can see this becoming a problem. it will be light farmer leechers all over again.

I like this idea, I wish the NA community was capable of holding up something like this. Not saying the jp community is perfect or anything, but the def have the right of it here.
