The poster of this topic needs to be hired by SE these are all extremely well thought out examples of how to quickly adjust the sp gains and encourage everything that FFXIV stands for. Something as simple as removing the dLVL of 10 cap would instantly make thousands of players happier and encourage party play. I almost wonder if SE is purposely holding back on fixing these types of party dynamics just so that they can have time to fix the party search system which is an abomination of FF and stands to be the worst invite / kick / loot distribution system I've ever encountered in any game. Possibly the worst example of programming ever.
