Castrum is dead. Please do something, Squenix

How do you think Rival Wings still keeps going? Discord Communities. They literally are driving that content. Otherwise, SE would see that entire piece of content become flat dead and nobody would ever do it again. The fact they're trying to distance Discord Communities away from the game and label it as a 3rd Party is concerning. If anything, XIV should see to work with the Discord Community since Discord's practically the best currently when it comes to communication software built for gaming.

I can't speak for Rival Wings I don't run the content.

There is nothing wrong with Discord but this content was designed to try and provide a meta where that wasn't necessary. It was working just fine before the hotfix and I suspect it will be working just fine after they hotfix it again. Seems to me you and he are here to push your discord community and that's fine nothing wrong with that but to try and infer that this is somehow required in order to complete this content is extremely misleading.

The game shouldn't have to rely on a 3rd party site in order for people to clear the content and I find there is nothing wrong with SE trying to provide that as part of their design philosophy. One of the things Eureka BA was criticized the most for was the inability for people to actually clear the content in zone without having to resort to a 3rd party site. One only has to think back to the shout chat in zone about don't touch my portals or those who would say Discord doesn't own those portals and so on. Got to the point were leads would tell their members to not respond to any shout chat or even let people know discord was in zone. Heaven forbid we have to deal with snipers who entered that content without discord. The memories are memorable for me to say the least.

I use discord for lots of things and used it extensively for my BA clears and I found it to be a very rewarding experience. I certainly don't feel it's necessary here in this context.
