It's just ridiculous. You can't force people to go back to "the way it was" because every region made a (reasonable!) decision to merge their raid communities together.

It's messing with every single type of players. From the hypercasuals who found new connections while talking random things in Limsa, to the people who simply played with real life friends who were literally barred from making their characters on the same world due to lockdowns and decided to make the most of it with DC travel, all the way down to the RP community who basically keep this game funded as it is now and the raiders who went cross DC because they literally let the pf woes sit that way for more than 2 years.

Do I like having to go to move DCs to raid? No. But I'll gladly take that annoyance over screwing with every single social facet this game has.
