I've mentioned it a few places here on the forums, but the most frustrating thing about Bozja is that a larger group cannot go in together. We can spend 30 minutes trying to instance hop and get everyone together in the same place.
Back in in FFXI we had Dynamis Hourglasses to get everyone into a single reserved instance. This same idea was recycled in XIV in the form of wedding invitations.
Proposal: For a nominal fee (it was 500K-1 mil gil in the original Dynamis system of XI, which is frankly pocket change in XIV), a raid leader purchases a Master Bozja (something something - Orders? Strategy?) Key Item.
This item, when use by a raid leader, splits into 32 individual tickets, which can then be handed out. The tickets expire after 4 hours, so they are one time use. The first party leader that goes in with one of these tickets creates a fresh instance of Bozja, and the other ticket holders can all go in to that instance at any time, so long as the master ticket holder is there.
Note that the instance is not private and new people unrelated to the first batch can still enter. So if a Castrum clear group enters, anyone who is in the instance can still tag along.
But this would also be incredibly useful for organized cluster farms, rank farms, etc. A lot of my friends aren't doing Bozja because it's so difficult to get an organized preformed group. Simply making it easier for multi party pre-forms to go in would make things a lot smoother and more fun.
