What I think would be cool is if they used the cloud to steal an idea from Wow.

So when you level in Wow, it has a feature called Chromie Time. And what it basically does is you pick an expansion timeline to level in, and you can queue for dungeons from that chosen expansion.

Now, how does that relate to FFXIV?

So there are. I want to say 6 different choices when you use Chromie Time. So that means there are six different dungeon list queues. Now, if you're cleaver enough to catch that, you will have immediately seen the problem. The problem is that you're cutting up the leveling playerbase into 6 different paths. Now Blizzard had a clever solution to that and it was after 5 minutes of waiting with no dungeon it would ask you if you want to either stay in queue or join a new queue where all of the timelines are merged. This means you could get any dungeon, not just the timeline you chose.

Again, what does this have to do with FFXIV?

So, in FFXIV, we have a problem with dead servers. I know I'm on one. What if we can queue for our content on our home server and if we wait like 5 minutes like in Wow ir asks us if we would like to join the cloud queue? And the cloud queue could be like an Aether queue. That way, you don't have to DC travel at all to get content done.

I'm not sure about party finder because I honestly barely use it, but I'm sure if we can link the servers as I have described for random queueing it would lead to cross DC party finder in some way. Again, that isn't something I'm super familiar with.
