I have an existing alt in Endwalker, but there's no way in hell I'm gonna be able to finish all of Dawntrail in the 20 hours I have until my static meets.

    Anyway my main issue is the fact that this came out of literally nowhere. If I knew they were gonna do this ahead of time, I would have just joined an aether-specific static to begin with... Decisions like these have to be communicated well in advance, especially when it comes to game content that people literally make plans for months ahead of time.

    Agreed. Though a part of me thinks that the original limitation was a test. And they probably liked what they saw over the few weeks they had it in place and didn't want to remove it but knew a complete shut out like before was likely going to be too much outrage so they decided to replace it with a nerfed version. The fact the new announcement has no planned end date/time, tells me that they wanted something like this permanently. They're going to work out as many kinks as they can in the current system and prob keep it if I had to guess.

    Honestly the changes in general are also Pretty Bad, but they'd have been taken with a lot less abject vitriol if they had been communicated properly.

    DC travel is the kind of thing where, once you open Pandora's Box, there's no way to put it back without completely alienating a large part of the current population that joined the game after DC travel was implemented. People have built communities in game that rely on DC travel and it's weirdo behavior to go "okay screw your friend on another DC that doesn't want to play this game without their friends."
