Per Region Cross Data Center Party Finder

I think that making Party Finder & Duty Finder cross Data center. Personally I play on Leviathan(Primal) so my experiences are rooted in NA DCs but from reading other posts on Reddit/Discord I believe these experiences are universal. Since the release of DC travel almost 2 years ago raiding has slowly but surely shifted all to one Data Center per region. Of course you can still que in with a static on any server/DC but if you want to use PF you will need to transfer to the Raiding DC (Aether for NA).

At peak play times now Primal will have 10-20 actively recruiting Party Finders with more than half of them being social event venues or people selling crafted gear and only 2 - 5 of them being any sort of content. Aether at similar times will have 100-150 actively recruiting Party Finders.

While DC travel does not take very long the inconvenience lies in the fact that you cannot access your retainers, submarines/airships, gather timed nodes while the pf fills.
The easy answer is choose what your doing, either PF or gather/retainer/etc I don't think that we should have to make that decision, nor should they have to give up their housing in game to pay for a DC transfer.

I have seen the suggestion for Universal Party Finder / Duty Finder in the past but I do not believe that would be something the community as a whole would want.
