I'm not happy with this at all. This is something that would be better implemented later when the new servers are activated. Remember in FFXI when it took the game a second to register that you actually had stopped moving? Well in this game that lag is at least double if not more. So you are going to run into a lot of interruption issues because the lag is so severe between client and server. I don't think it needs changed. Personally I'm like a lot of people posting in this thread, that saw this as a improvement over FFXI. No more worrying about people running out of range, cause you can run with them. Granted server lag can effect that strat as well, but it still cuts down on people being out of range. I wont be ok with this change even if they were to wait for the new servers to be online. But id be less upset if they'd wait until the game is rdy to receive such a limitation.
