So a long time ago Yoshi-P said he didn't want to add new Grand Company ranks with the requisite being simply handing over Seals for advancements. Fast forward a bit and Grand Company Squadrons were born.
Clearly the beginning steps of them tinkering with Duty Support and later the Trust system but it worked well enough at the time and the assigned missions giving tokens equivalent to grade three FC buffs was a really nice bonus.
Now we have an issue in the modern day where lots of ARR dungeons have had tweaks, minor updates, etc. but the Squadron NPC AI has been left to rot with no real progression to allow them to reliably tackle dungeon changes.
Finding five dungeons they can do for the final obtainable GC rank is easy enough but it gets a little more tricky when you go for ten unique dungeon completions with them to get the workout emotes from the content.
I'm no expert when it comes to game design but over the past two days of grinding on and off on my alt for the emotes I've been left wondering why they can't just have the Duty Support AI apply to Squadrons?
Also, if they're not going to make sure Squadrons function in these dungeons somewhat consistently why even leave them in the game for new players to get frustrated with?
