These would be good steps, I second that. I also think it'd be great to see - which is implied but not explicitly stated here - the flexibility to run content without having exact numbers of people. Part of what made FFXI's content so flexible is that you didn't need to have exactly 6 people in a party, exactly 18 people in an Alliance, exactly X healers, Y tanks, Z damage-dealers. I don't think it's any surprise that Palace of the Dead was the most successful content off-shoot that SE designed: it features precisely this flexibility. It would be fantastic if this flexibility could extended to other areas of the game. I particularly think that it would be a boon for statics, because it would reduce the difficulties associated with a member not show up occasionally.
