Can we please queue from anywhere for Chocobo racing and Lov?

[AzraelX]

I think the problems with Chocobo racing and Lov is accessibility. You guys put alot of time, effort, and resources for these types of content but most people don't feel its not worth the effort of having to be in the golden saucer.

Please make these modes more accessible for all players

No thanks, I prefer having the minigames accessible through a specific location, aside from being more immersive, this is side content that deviates from the main game/core gameplay, and doesn't belong in Duty Finder.

[Saccharin]

No, then it's just another 'instance'.

[Canadane]

I like the idea of needing to be at the controls to do the content.
What does need to happen though is to open it to the data centre, not just the individual server. This is only because interest is waning as it is. At least on old Hyperion.

^^^^^^^^
Indeed this...

Yes, LoV should be data centre wide like the Choobo Racing is.

No one is playing these minigames, and it's alot (Not the only reason, but its a big reason) because of this reason.

Please do add the option to queue for minigames via duty finder.

No, I think people don't play them anymore cause the rewards are trash.

You're not supposed to require reward to do things, it's called playing games, you should try it sometime. :P

Honestly, it's all about efficiency and rewards vs time spent for so many players. Why can't people just play the game for the freaking hell of it to have fun, and see the rewards as bonuses that are acquired along the way?

Because people like progression or at least the ability to work towards something that they can get. I wanted the Fenrir mount, so I was willing to play the games to get it. Doing things for funsies will only go so far until people will grow bored and complain that there's nothing to do. FF14 isn't going to sell itself on doing things for funsies only.

Heck, Final Fantasy in general has mini games that reward you greatly if you manage to master them and it helps you out in the main game. FF7's Gold Saucer had a lot of neat items, including Cloud's Limit break, that were locked behind it. FF8 had Triple Triad that became the source of magic crafting. FF10 had Blitzball where you had to play it if you wanted to get Wakka's best weapon. Yes, people can and will play those mini games for fun, but not everyone is going to be sold on just fun alone. It's why we have so many carrot and sticks in this game and others.
