Just as the title says, DC travel -- while a great feature, particularly for the social aspects of the game -- has effectively decimated Party Finder everywhere but Aether in NA.

PFs on non-Aether NA DCs take ages to fill (if ever, in some cases), and those who may not have wanted to travel are now forced to do so in order to have reasonable access to certain content. On the flip side, when you travel, you lose access to all content specific to your home world/DC (retainers, supplies, communications, island, etc), which is hella inconvenient and irritating if you didn't want to travel to begin with. Mostly everyone I've had discussion with about this has expressed some level of frustration about the situation, but also the resignation of not being sure anything will ever be done to address it.

I'm not suggesting they completely shut down DC travel, nothing that drastic, but personally I think it would be nice to see some kind of adjustment to help rebalance the situation. Perhaps some kind of benefit to running duties in your own DC, or maybe restricting PF usage so current (non-echo) content can only be run on your own DC. I don't know, something.

I'm curious what others are feeling about the current state of PF and, for those who are also frustrated, what would you suggest to address the problem?
