Link Shell Tools please

[ChiefCurrahee]

Please add Link Shell management tools.

1) Allow authorized members to Invite from anywhere in the game.
2) Allow the LS leader to remove a member from anywhere regardless or online status
3) Allow the LS leader to promote members from anywhere
4) allow LS leader to pass leadership to another member.

This is a dead horse at this point and should have been rectified as an oversight ages ago but because it's so neatly summarized here I agree.

also, another common one as 5) was the LS Message of the Day.

3+4) im sure you mean LS master, leaders cant promote :P

Agreed to all nonetheless

[Kazimir]

I agree, especially with #2. So many people continually quit the game we really need to be able to remove them from the list. There are LS's on my server who have had to remake their LS 3 times already because of this.

I remember bringing this up back in beta and it still hasn't been fixed, won't be holding my breath.

This isnt beta? OMG!

There is a real need for these tools. LS leaders are losing there minds trying to figure out how to remove inactives without having to just remake the entire LS. Doing the remake which I learned the hard way also removes all LS forum post on Lodestone. The lack of real tools for LS Masters is a nightmare!

I would agree with most of those listed in the first post, but would also like to add LS message of the day as well. I would also like to see leaders be able to change the msg of the day if needed. I am confused as to why this important stuff was not carried over from FFXI.

[Soukyuu]

Agreed it should be in. Especially the removal of members that quit, since there isn't any other way to remove them.

I totally agree with this. The Linkshell management is currently one of the most broken features in the game. Linkshell leaders really need to be able to kick members from anywhere (like we could in FFXI), regardless of whether the person they're kicking is online or not.

Not only does the requirement of having to be next to a person to kick them from the LS make it impossible to remove people who have quit the game, it also opens up the door to abuse by immature people. For example, I remember this one indecent a couple months ago where one of the members in our LS decided he hated all the rest of us for some reason, and started being extremely abusive and insulting everyone in LS chat, and our LS had to spend a whole freaking hour hunting the guy down in the game world just so we could remove him since he wouldn't stop harassing us.

That kind of problem never occurs in FFXI, because in FFXI you can kick people from your LS from absolutely anywhere in the game world, whether they're standing next to you or not.

In my opinion, improving Linkshell functionality should be the #1 priority for SE's next patch.

I'd like to suggest amending #2 to be this:
2) Allow the LS leader to remove a member from anywhere regardless of online status or currently equipped linkshell.

If i recall, you cannot boot someone if they do not have that particular pearl equipped either, which can lead to frustration.
