Say yes to Cross-world group finder

[Dargoth_Draconia]

1. It will not destroy communities especially when some servers are highly populated and others aren't.

2. You already most likely play with a decent LS and noone is going to force you to use the cross server feature. I will likely never use the feature unless I sign on at an odd time and just want to run a quick dungeon.

3. Enough said.

[Adding this from my second or third post for better sake of arguement to the opposing thread.]
(1. Is same answer as above)
The problem is they are trying to make this game more accessible and playable by all yet everytime they mention something new that will help this game become more popular everyone cries about it. It won't diminish any part of the game in its current and very lacking state. People are afraid it will be a WoW clone and that is literally impossible because the game is not even 1% like WoW and even with certain features added it would still be nothing like that game or any other.

Why won't it diminish the community? First of all I ask what community? Everyone plays in one LS for the most part of their time online and occasionally will group up with random people to do leves and talk with people in town. That isn't much of a community if you ask me. It won't take away from your LS comradely at all, so tell me how it would negatively effect FFXIV.

2) gives oportunity for ninja's.
They just have to make a better looting system that makes this not possible or easy.

3) player conduct.
Elitism is the problem and it is the players faults. It doesn't make people act this way because they are just being themselves. I see it everyday on my server and on these forums and this is not the cause of the problem.

4) It has been tried.
Tried by me and I am 100% for the system. For the most part the Final Fantasy community in general is different than most players of other MMOs. The people playing FFXIV currently are the die hard fans for the most part and the new players will also be likely more die hard FF fans. So with that in mind and with Yoshida behind working on the system I bet you that it will be an improved upon feature than will be better than the other renditions in other MMOs.

So before you knock it and flame it why don't you give our new director a chance to implement it, looting features, and other things that go along with this a chance?(one which I have a lot of faith in to revive this game to its proper glory)

You're expecting the population to stay this low? You know what, even if it does, I would rather server merges than cross-world grouping. I'm sure with auto grouping and an influx of players at PS3 launch and hopefully later from good word of mouth you wont have a hard time grouping up within your own server.

I would like to see cross-world grouping. As for the people that don't want it, they can not use it.

Stupid response is stupid. That's like the response for AH vs. MW which said why not have both? why not? because one will render the other useless as people will use the most efficient approach and in this case most efficient is harmful to the community but when everyone is using it it becomes routine and you can't "not" use it because it becomes your best option.

I don't know, with all this talk about how horrible it is, it sounds like people wouldn't use it that often. At least the ones against it.

Wait until you find yourself in a party with 7 of the most incompetent players in the game each time you sign up. Not only are they not bright, but they don't know how to play their class well, or it's their first time. You'll be in the dungeon for 30-40 minutes longer than it takes a normal group of players, but when you get to the final boss, they start DCing or the LSD they took before the dungeon finally kicks in and you fail. 30-40 minutes down the drain.

lol. It makes for an epic story that you'll tell all your friends about, and a thread dedicated to the player of incompetence that you'll feel obligated to post on your server forums.

Being anti-social can only take you so far in a MMORPG.

I've ran into similar situations in this game. I was in random party with a bunch a French players and they kept dying over and over during this one leve because they wouldn't turn the difficulty down. Also I've come across assholes in behest, that wouldn't party up and go off and kill all the mobs, keeping EXP for themselves.

Both systems have their pros and cons, but I rather have an option to team up whenever I want, especially down line when some people leave the game. What SE needs to do is look at other games, see what players gripe about when it comes to cross server grouping and see what they can do to limit those gripes.

Amen! I really hope they add this feature.

Agree with all of that.
