The most cursed treasure map party ever...

[Doki]

Step 1: Make a Cross-World party finder group for maps. Takes nearly 25 mins to form.
Step 2: Forget to convert party once everyone is in zone at map location.
Step 3: No one can attack your map mobs.
Step 4: Try exiting combat, try teleporting away, nether works. Out of combat, but still can't convert party, Map times out.
Step 5: Convert party successfully.
Step 6: Next map, party member opens map, but one person DCs halfway through battle.
Step 7: Portal appears... but unable to enter as one party member is offline.
Step 8: Unable to kick party member while portal is active.
Step 9: Everyone is fed up and leaves.

This game still suprises me with how jank it is. I've done 100s if not 1000s of maps and never had anything like this happen before. FML.

Stuff like this is what I mean when I say there's very little Quality of Life. We get 3 at best.

To solve things like this, they actually have to just play the game and fix stuff the moment they run into it. I've seen other MMORPGs able to do this, but the management style for FFXIV seems to require them to "divert development cost" to it, and that's way to rigid of a system for QoL issues so they almost never get addressed.

The fact that we can't votekick a person in a premade team always amazed me. I can do that with a pug party, but if I invite friends or do a PF, not I can't.

And content like maps will lock you out if someone disconnect or goes afk. Can't loot on chest and have to wait 300 seconds. Can't kick with the portal on. So that mean you'll wait A LOT to go to the next step. I mean, lots of annoying stuff and you can't do anything about it...

It’s annoying indeed. I never had people leave though…
We usually wait it out and then kick the person. :x

That gives me so much second hand rage.
