This as well. I want to go out and explore, and do lower level stuff I may have missed, but I can't watch general or post LFG in it if I'm not on the fleet.
And for the "omg, too fast to 50, start an alt wait for everyone else" I really don't want to start an alt right now, I want to work on gearing my main. There are also roughly about 80-100 on my server at level 50 in prime time (and growing each day), it was one of the day 1 head start servers with guilds. Yet, searching for 50s LFG, I find at most 3 using the system at any given time.
The system can work, if people use it, I played FF11 for over 6 years which used the same system, and it worked well because the community put it to good use.
