Why Can't We...

[Steeled]

The reason you can't access chats or FC lists and the such while in an instance, is because you've been moved to another server temporarily for that dungeon. This is what the duty finder does, that way the server running the world doesn't have to process all of the instances going on.

There should be a vote/kick option at the very least though, due to many dungeons becoming impossible with only three people.

Yes and no.

Yes, this is the base reason. The real reason is that SE refuses to implement the extra measures that allow you to see the FC list/guild list. Since you can communicate with them, seeing the list is feasible. Your client just needs to maintain a separate connection to your home server, something it is already apparently doing since we can communicate with FC and G.

Why do you all need to see your LS/FC in the middle of an instance? I actually didn't know it stopped from loading because... I've never needed to look.
