I'd love to be levelling my squadron again. Those bed rats are getting restless. Or put trust in if it's preferred. Whatever works. Though my vote would be to re-do squadrons as trusts instead, for use in as many dungeons as possible. No need for NPCs or your "adventurer friends" or wonky story rewriting to shoehorn a beloved NPC in (though it is only right and proper Aymeric should come with me everywhere, I accept it would upset someone somewhere and probably shouldn't happen), you have 8 rabid fans trying to out-dps each other to prove worthiness. If it's an issue where there aren't enough players to run with other players (find that one hard to believe, really I do), simply earmark a dungeon as needing to be run with real people the first time its done, and either way the roulette stays as it is with shiny rewards, trust/squadron runs aren't included in the overall dungeon count a person has, and then whatever else it may need to remain balanced.
