NN is probably among the best feature of FF14. If other MMO's took anything from this game, NN should be it. I have no idea why people complain about it over the smallest issues. With world travel I've been to multiple NN's and they're all about the same. When no one is asking questions there is a lot of friendly general chat going on which new players tend to find welcoming and enjoyable, and when a question does come up someone will make an attempt to answer it. There is nothing wrong with chatting in NN, and it seems even SE agrees with this. There are some times abuse of the system made by member of the chat, but this is what reporting is for. Suggesting to remove NN is a ridiculously short sighted and selfish idea.
