FD splitting and pulling was not part of the "vision" at all.
They never thought about 99% of the stuff in the game, they didn't even know what they were making at the time.

He is 100% correct here. I recall reading Brad interviews about him and the team confused on why people were content to sit in 1 spot all day in a dungeon instead of crawling around. Same with FD, I recall him saying it was intended to be a 'avoid death' situation, but when they started using it for splitting they kind of shrugged their shoulders at it. Man... they really should have made that thing a 6 min timer or something.... would be glorious.
