Future of Trust System

[Brightmore]

I think Trusts were an awesome option, to encourage people to get to play a dungeon before going to play with other players (encourage mostly for healers and tankers, but DPS do bring a faster queu... it may take a bit more time but who's not in a rush to do nothing, that's not a huge deal...)

i just want the option to take my trust into deep dungeons.

They actually getting updated for next dungeon. I just hope NPC from the Nier raid can be a guest in Trust system.

I usually clean my apartment while doing trust as a healer.
Usually a macro is enough to keep the groupe alive for about 2min.

Trusts died. The moment I tried to use them and realised I had to level them up.

I never touched them in the msq as always ran dungeons with my friends. Then came a point where I was about 77 o a job had some time to kill and thought I'd take my trusts through maybe score some gear upgrades only to find I couldn't queue without going all the way back to 71 and levelling them up.... sod that.

Never looked st them since.

Kinda like squadrons. They Dont really do very much.

i used one set to level gunbreaker to 80, the other set to level dancer to 80. worked for me. all of them are now 80. the exp boost makes so they even outlevel you for a little bit.

I do think squadron have more function compare to trust plus Squadron is important to someone who not in FC as the buff item get from them quite similar to FC buff.

Actually last time I do similar thing such as doing laundry and others while having Trust member to DPS the mob

I got my PLD from 71 to 80 using trusts. Leveling my RDM and DNC that way as well. Eventually many other jobs will be leveled that way. I intend to use trusts quite a bit.

The trust system looks awesome.

One of my 1st jobs was BST, in FFXI. BST went against standard mmo convention.

"Why play an mmo by yourself"

"You cannot play an mmo by yourself"

I pretty much played FFXI Solo during the early 2000s for years. Others would team up for AF gear, I would solo mines lol. In a way, BST may have paved the way for limited jobs.

MMO have 2 components, solo and grouping, neither should feel forced upon the player. Although an mmo is a multiplayer game, that does not mean one should be forced to group up. Just like any other multiplayer game, grouping can be optional. As the directors alluded to, maybe someone likes FF, and wants to try FFXIV.
