Fix outerworld elite hunt to make it scalable

[Gurgeh]

I get you Jeeqbit, and I appreciate you genuine full engagement. However, it's just smoke and mirrors. Another person who's been drinking the coolaid.

Everyone, and I mean 'everyone', who has reached end game says the outerworld zone experience is just irrelevant (bad). (Yeah, there are tribal fetch quests)

Now, you can either 'do' 'something' and it 'might' get better.
Or you can do 'nothing' and it will 'definitely' stay shit.
(or, 'do' 'something' and it 'might' get worse, but you can still 'do' 'something' again, and it will be better eventually)

If you do something, you can look to spend a lot of money on doing something, or do something without spending a lot.

Everything else: smoke, mirrors, excuses, obfuscation, reverse rationalisation, illogic for convenience.

As for this...

...But they also said that they can't just make them FATEs easily because it's different code, and FATEs don't have the spawn condition code. ...

And I just don't know what to say about a game 'developer' that tries to claim "we can't do anything about it because if we did, then our developers would have to do some development."

Just when I start to feel sympathy, and want to appreciate the effort they put in, I read something like that, I 'do' believe it, and that sympathy is just murdered. I simply can't do the mental gymnastics needed to have patience and sympathy for them while that kind of thing is probably still going on now.

FFXIV is probably the 2nd biggest MMO. Its monthly sub was once massive. Yeah it might not be as profitable as Genshin, but I've got no sympathy for gross greed, profiteering, and exploitation. The only excuse is if they drove themselves into a hole with a miss spend on server expansions, and they had years when that was not the case. The rest is just unacceptable incompetence with their reinvestment decisions. Which is some top execs fault, that may 'not' be the top exec that made the investment decisions, but the top exec that pressured that top exec. A lot of management is just about having a fall guy to deal with the 'details' to keep the merry-go-round going around for as long as possible. NFTs, for fks sake.
Yes, someone needs firing and it is NOT Yoshi-P. Although, his flexibility, and expectations of demanding flexibility could use a little improvement - from where I'm standing.
