    More GATE Attendants

    I love that the GATE attendants will tell you what GATE is next, where it is, and teleport you there. However, there's... nowhere near enough attendants. If you're on the minion/chocobo level, there are none. There's not one near the triple triad tables, nor one in the main hall or near the aetheryte. There really should be one in all the "main" areas so that you can go to whatever GATE starts, but still spend your free time doing other GS events, or you can port in and go straight to the GATE.

    This is a good idea.

    Tbh, I'd be happy with the same announcements they make in the Main Halls, "Event Name in Location," so at least I can decide if the event is worth missing a race or two...

    Although, how does the GS work with the 2 zones? We can use Shards to switch between them, but not the attendant, so is it spaghetti code or just bad design?

    Genuinely curious as to why this isn't an option.

    The "spaghetti" code probably doesn't let them sync the specific GATE announcements to the separate instanced area. Or at least that's my guess. I'm sure they would have added them if it was something they could get to work properly and there's always a chance they'll be able to get it to work in the future.

    I agree they should add an attendant to the Triple Triad area where it connects to the Main Entrance area (which would cover both zones).

    They don't need a GATE Attendant at the main Aetheryte because the one at Wonder Square is just a few steps away and the one at Event Square isn't much farther. The Moogle's Paw machines are farther from an attendant than the Aetheryte is.
