I guess it's time

First of all, relic. second, do you hear yourself talking? By "keeping the same content relevant" they are "milking the same content for years".

You know what I mean, no need to twist my words. If you actually need clarification, I was referring to content like Sky, Sea, and other content in FFXI. On that note, you actually bring up a good point with relics. Only reason for that is developers can't feel compelled to actually make interesting/original content for it, which is a major issue in itself. I am glad you brought up relic because it does prove something against what I said and another reason I think it is a flawed quest line.

I think they mean that with the lack of content that forces players to band together, network and create lasting connections and the nature of the DF there is very little accountability when it comes to player performance and attitude.

This game has created an environment where your reputation means much less than it did in older MMOs and the player attitudes have reflected this.

I get what you mean, but I don't think the DF is the issue here. SE just needs to make content for FC's to get together. Hopefully the revised Diadem could help contribute to that. I would like to see content that influences people to grow their FC's, but still make the content accessible to random groups. Currently there is no real reason to have a large FC. However, having a tool like DF to get content done is pretty essential. I would hate to be a new player sitting in PF, hoping someone would need Brayflox normal or people willing to help.
