All of this in general just shows that there is a major split in people who enjoy this FFXI like content and who doesn't. When SE decides to try content like this again, they need to create it so it stays consistent with the rules of philosophy of FFXIV while bringing a fun open world experience. It is hard to do since FFXIV isn't built initially for this type of content. When you go into Pagos, you feel like you are playing a different game with FFXIV's systems.
Endless chain mobbing doesn't work in 14 like it does in 11. The apm for 14 is too high and there's no time for any socializing during it because of that. The train allowed for socializing through whole zones.

And yes, you're more likely to find people wanting the train than the chain. That's probably the reason they brought the train back. But if you want to chain, you can still chain.
