Ideas: Let's improve the community & party content!

Hate grinding for tomes forever? Too much vertical,short life gear progression? Boring gear stats?
DF with random people everyday & feeling lonely? you want to make some new friends & leave a good memory in game?
You want to try something new, but you are afraid that the game will change too much that you may not like?

Here are my some thoughts:
1.Remove DF UI but add a LDF(local duty finder) board in Adventures' Guild in each main city. so you can play with other players in you server. while you go to & wait in the Adventure's Guild, you may meet some new friends! not just clicking a boring DF menu like now....

2.Other server players can join your LDF party too, just add a "cross server" option in it, so you won't wait for 1hour for a party.

3.While in dungeon, players from same server will have a light blue color name tag, other server player will have a deep blue name tag,

4.Cross server friend list, and you can add player to you friend list while in dungeon.

5.If you go in with a full local server party, dungeons will drop better rewards:dyeable gear, gears with better stats or special effects(horizontal progression)

6.Dungeons will have more content if you go in with a full local server party, just like Tam-Tare Deepcroft in 2.0 alpha:there were three final bosses in it & they give different rewards

7.There will be some random events, server events, time limited events, HNM hunting missions, large scale open world raid(Odin?) or instance raid(16-24man or more) etc in LDF board that you could join, & it gives special rewards or Scripture tomes.
just like Wondrous Tails & Duty Roulette Expert, but in a far more fun & natural way.

8.Add FC missions/duties,add job quest that require a party, FC chat channel is so quiet now,isn't it? lets make it lively again

9.(optional) add some strong monsters, treasure chests while you & your party are going to the destination.

10.Extreme primal boss use less "jump rope" mechanics, so you & your party spend less time to learn it & you won't feel frustrated if someone failed, but those instance require "keystones" to enter, you & you party will spend some time on collecting keystone, like king moggle mog in FFXIV1.2x, there were some very fun monster on the road, & you have more chance to play with your friends, it's memorable

11.change patch cycle from 3months to 4.5months, so the content will have better quality, more carefully designed, & your gears live longer

Do you have some instereting ideas too? let's tell Yoshi-p!

12. "Semi" open world dungeon: As large as the FFXIV 1.x open world dungeons, you can see other players in the dungeon.
trash mobs hit hard, but give good exp (for exp party), chests appear in random place, they drop gears or materials for crafting/glamour,

Each open world dungeon has 3-8 floors, new floors will be add in update patches,
each floor has one or two INSTANCED boss room(so you don't need to camp & claim the mobs like FFXI),
you can solo it or enter it with a 2-16man party, the difficulty & rewards are depend on the party size.

after each boss fight, there will be a 10-15min cool down time before you can fight it again, to prevent non stop killing, & this gives you time to interact with others(help others to repair, hunting for chests with others, kill some trash mobs for keystones etc)

13. Bring back Hamlet defense in FFXIV 1.1x, it's fun
