This recent implementation was amazing for the community - we no longer have to worry about having to travel to Aether for Content anymore, and Dynamis is no longer a ghost town - it's a miracle that they got this fixed.
There's plenty of good things they have done with this especially on the Duty Finder side. No more 10m+ waits for those with little time, just in time before Evercold takes off. Your usual roles in need won't change much in wait time, but your DPS in all the Roulettes? High-Level? Level-Cap? Tanks in Alliance Raid Roulette?
No more waiting.
24-man Alliance Raid still has some issues with connection, though; and I imagine it has to do with connecting 4 different DCs and keeping them in a stable environment. Still some work to be done, but otherwise really good; especially for other Alliance Raids.
Same can be said of 8-man content. Stable, even in Ultimates. It's good.
However, there is a trend I've been noticing as of late on the JP side, but also at peak times in PF: Restriction to certain Data Centers being able to participate in a PF.
It's a really weird discrimination that I don't understand at all, especially when this is supposed to make lives easier for everyone all around. I don't understand but if I had to take a guess it's because of the labels and stereotypes that are associated with each DC in particular.
JP especially is bad about this given the culture that exists over there from what I've acknowledged on Socials, but NA has its fair share. For the most part?
This has to stop.
Bigger question is is it a reportable offense? Because I'm not sure of it myself.
