Multiplayer trust system

[TaleraRistain]

But if you make trust system multiplayer than it is no longer a single player game. Yall need to pick one and stick to it.

You're under the mistaken assumption that only soloers use the Duty Support/Trust systems. There are plenty of people who also do multiplayer content that utilize the systems. And this sort of idea goes along with the dev desire to have XIV be something you can play solo or with friends. More options are healthy because people can choose to engage with the content in the way most comfortable for their playstyle and situation.

Since this isn't likely ever to be a thing, I think a better direction to investigate is BLU. Through most of the early game ARR and possibly HW, BLU is probably perfectly capable of carrying some extra weight in a synced 3-player run. Duos might be pushing it, tho.

I feel like people just default to pushing back on any sort of compromise to make anyone happy....even if the compromise is just adding on more options. It is very odd sometimes. Woohoo internet!

Yoshida has adressed this request in one of the recent Live Letters. TLDR: Designing AI to interact with one player is fine, designing AI to interact with multiple players is not. They have no plans to invest into such system.

Do you have a link to this q and a or interview? Wondering exactly what was said and how old it was.
