Yeah, Baldesion Arsenal was a really terrible idea.

I'm not saying that the current servers for Discord are bad, but as a new person running it I am definitely feeling the ostracized language of being new and not good enough by several of the members. I've received some relatively negative feedback on not understanding how 50 separate bot-controlled Discord channels work. I kindly ask a question for sake of being respectful and was reprimanded by a player. We're held to third party programs where a group of community leaders have the responsibility of developing overly complicated Discord bots and processes just to be able to smoothly and effectively finish BA.

You can't even reach out to the leaders without feeling like you're trash. And it's not their fault, they're getting 100 separate questions and even writing in their bios not to ask them questions. How is this fair to them for helping?

This can't be fair to the Discord folks, and it can't be fair to the community.

And don't fool yourself, BA is not public content any more. This isn't to the fault of the Discords, it's the fault of Square-Enix.

BA should be an instanced zone independent from Hydatos.

You should be allowed to use the duty finder in-game to group with parties.

You should be allowed to play with your friends (another issue that Discord can't support)

You should not be required to wait 2-3 days before you can queue up at a very specific time organized by group leaders.

You should not have to sacrifice your own schedule just to be able to try Proto-Ozma.

If you want to make organizing this like the wedding ceremony system, fine, do that. But don't leave it to people to do what a computer should be doing. And don't leave unpaid customer service to answer all the questions.
