    Alpha and the plague of Performance Parties

    So i love the performance mode as much as the next person (i use it most days in secluded areas), however im starting to get tired of Alpha having between 3 - 6 parties of Performers in Gridania all day everyday non-stop.
    Like there will be parties of 6+ wanderers all neatly stood about playing music which is cool at 1st but gets really old when no matter the time you try and log in theres a bloody queue, and when you do get in its a metric tonne of people all jus vibing to bands.
    And final complaint, why right next to the Aethryte? everytime i go anywhere the Performer(s) are on the aether ready to blow out your eardrums with a clustertruck of noise, cant we step away from the crystal and find somewhere else to vibe so we dont ruin the immersion for others?
    so two things resally
    1 - why is it on alpha that youve all decided to make the concert server, cant you stay on your servers and host concerts?
    2 - if we must have nonstop concerts of catgirl squads and lala's can we at least move away from the aetheryte a bit?

    There is a specific volume slider for bard performances. Mute them. If you want to be able to mute or unmute at will, there's a very easy macro for that. I have it, I just don't recall what it is off the top of my head.

    Mute the Performance as said above. If a bunch of people performing music around an Aetheryte is what breaks your immersion in the game and not the Miqote and Viera running around in bikinis, then I envy you.

    I turned off Performance sounds a long time ago. Easily the best decision I've ever made in FF XIV.

    You're so close to your answer.

    I don't think people really get what the OP is getting at.

    The OP likely enjoys performances, but sometimes things get overdone. OP wants to be able to be pleasantly surprised by different, occasional performers, yet remain unbothered by the current bands that seem to all have taken root at that location.

    Are we really going to excuse the people that take things too far and tell others to work around or deal with it?

    I'll gladly agree with you on that one, the fact some people believe these queues are real is comical, Sagittarius is a good example, there are queues sometimes even at 4 or 5 am, and the server is absolutely empty, there's literally like 5 people around Limsa, and yet you get a 10 or more queue out of nowhere

    Bold to assume any of us can actually read.
