Disgusted with Ishgardian Restoration

[Bellsong]

While I agree with op something needs to happen such as adding instances, please all of you, just join the Ishgardian Restoration discord. It has timers for all servers listed that way if you miss out on your own server you can then feasibly go to another world 30mins to an hour ahead of time and wait. While having to plan and waste time waiting sucks, it at least will allow you the opportunity to at least participate in fates and gather the scrips and exp.

I wanna do this but I also don't wanna be part of the problem.

No. This is not helping anyone. It's making it worse.

A third party program shouldn't be required to play the damn game in a decent way.

I imagine it'll die down significantly as people get all the Skybuilder Scrip exclusives and realize that there isn't really much going on with it besides farming those.

Unfortunately, it's currently the most gil efficient way to get materia (it's more turnins than white scrips, but uses fewer mats useful elsewhere), so until the price for those craters, crafting the top level turnins is going to remain viable, which will include the duration of the currently implemented restoration steps.

True, but do you think enough people are going to farm it for materia to make a significant difference? Right now there is a large participation rate because of the novelty of new content and the new exclusive rewards, once both those wear off it'll be three groups I imagine; People who want to see it finished, people who are leveling crafters, and people farming materia/skybuild materials, and I don't think that's going to be a large enough group to cause the issues we currently see. At the very least participation will become a lot more sporadic compared to now, unless the FATEs significantly step up in terms of engagement and rewards. As it currently looks, they're not worth the rabid hype people seem to be putting on them, people are going to sit on their own server crafting for Skybuilder Scrips at potentially a faster rate than server hopping to take part in a very lackluster FATE process.

Thankfully, it seems there IS kind of a gating to the hand-ins/fate spawning in some way. (Note: Malmstone reached)
Still, I'm not very happy about this implementation, it really could've been better done.

There really should have been multiple instances for this. Hopefully they're working on that atm. World Transfer has only made it worse.

Yeah Yoshi P just said in another thread that they left it enabled so larger servers can help smaller servers, if people keep abusing it like that Discord is doing he said there are emergency features in place to block players from other worlds from entering.

TLDR: stop playing the system or Yoshi P is going to stop you.

yeah it was so disapointing im gonna have to unsub be back next main story patch.

This is part of the problem though, along with CWLS doing similar things. You're taking the spot away from someone else, repeating the cycle.
