I've never been particularly compelled to post on the FFXIV forums, as for the most part, I'm content with the state of the game (I know I can't influence most of the problems I have with it). There's just one thing I can't reconcile...

Why don't we have explorer mode for deep dungeons? And for that matter, why no explorer mode for a wider variety of content?

With the release of the shiny brand new deep dungeon, I'm once again reminded that doing group posing in the regular stages is such a PITA. I've tried in the past, only to be killed by an enemy that happened to spawn too close. :X

This extends to content beyond Pilgrim's Traverse. Alliance raids, for example, require the player to queue in with at least 3 other players, and is unavailable to Explorer mode. Why not then just instance the player into the map in its "completed" state, the same way they do with regular dungeons in explorer mode? You can backtrack the entire raid once you finish it and everyone's left, meaning that state already exists. But for this posts purposes, I won't demand the world and more.

For deep dungeon, I'm aware it's different... but... I would really appreciate Explorer mode feature for Deep Dungeons. Simply wipe all the mobs (and the treasure, obviously) from the tile set and enable the Cairn (or variants) of passage automatically.

Am I the only one?
