Request: Remove the light party requirement from FC workshop projects

[Kaethra]

Even I, a predominately solo player, understands that FC Workshop projects are supposed to be a group effort thing, thus needs a group of people to complete. It defeats the purpose of it being a group project if a single person can do it all alone. If you dont want to deal with social issues then you shouldnt have the perks of a social system. Do some leg work, find another person or two that will join your free company, make more friends who will help with the group project.

As a predominantly group player, I think its absurd when arbitrary restrictions are put in place. Imagine if you left a city zone and it gave you the message 'its dangerous to go alone, form a light party before continuing'. You'd be upset, and rightfully so. Yet I don't suggest they should make that a thing despite this being a MMO.

The better design is to make the content challenging enough for four players that bringing less is.. more challenging. I'm sure you've solo'd a handful of FATES despite them being designed for multiple players. Fair is fair after all.

That sounds kinda cool tbh. I mean, not a forced party or anything, and not for all zones. If there was one open world zone that was super dangerous, and you'd actually need party members to get through, that'd be interesting.

For example, you know how for POTD you actually need to go to quarrymill to que for it? They could make something like POTD in a really dangerous zone, and you'd need to run to it before queing in. It'd be kinda cool seeing people form parties just to get there safely. I think the dungeon would have to be rewarding for people to actually want to venture out into an open world zone where they could easily die without a party though. No flying or swimming of course.

I dont have to imagine, there was an entire game that you pretty much had to do that. It was called Final Fantasy XI.
