Not sure how being able to buy a mount with 99 tokens invalidates a primal, I don't think there's a single primal I've run 99 times yet (at least not one which gives tokens) and I have a mentor crown by now.

It's bad enough that many of your fellow group players seem to regard even the basic communications of 'hi' and 'thank you' as some kind of penance to be avoided at all costs.

Now we have taken the next step down this self only interaction, with this you and your bots non-mmo grouping.

If they see this as a solution to long queue times for certain classes - it might very well be. But at what cost to the traditional overall mmo culture - which this game used to pride itself in? There are far better ways to handle the queue situation than guiding players to be an isolationist bot controller.

An introduction of a system into a totally inappropriate environment. This is an mmorpg - not Many Player Run Bots Online

Actually I do understand where both of you are coming from, since I have played EverQuest and EverQuest2 for some time since they introduced Mercenaries.

Unlike FF14, in EQ & EQ2, you can make entire boxed parties easily enough. Here, not so much. And many feel that boxes have ruined the social aspect of EQ & EQ2 since a person can essentially play with themselves.

Now, in regard to FF14, this game is way different in many regards. I want to see how the mercenaries work before I make a judgement (though if regular NPCs in duties and battles are any indication ... ugh. Swear they are dumb as bricks) ...

For myself, I see it as a way to help my sister get back into the game. She hasn't played in over a year, and picked up Marauder again. Just starting her first dungeon. So with her as Tank, my husband as Healer, and me as a DPS, we can bring on a Squadron DPS to round things out. Mainly so we don't have some random being a jerk as my sister relearns things, cause she isn't going fast enough.
