Abyssea End game shells and my thoughts and oppions about them

[HFX7686]

I've never heard of an "Abyssea End Game Linkshell" before. This must be an entirely new beast. Everything I've done in Abyssea, which all the tiers of NMs for most of the NMs has been done with 3-12 people I just gathered up and did stuff with.

damn dude, sucks that you had to go through that with a very immature group. If anything just look at the fact that you ended up getting that awesome axe. and hey, if it dropped a couple of times and they ganged up on you, at least you know it dropped multiple times (i.e. you can get it later). I hope you're able to get those H2H soon and if it was me, i would've tossed the pearl as soon as everyone yelled at me for winning the lot of a freelot item

I like my Abyssea LS. They are awesome. Not sure why they let me in but probably because my son-in-law is one of the sackholders lol. It is a nice sized LS. They used to be an regular End Game LS but with all the new gear they apparently decided to do Abyssea for a change. They are rated as one of the best, 3rd in our server, with stiff competition.
We have gotten quite a few of the Emperean Weapons and most everyone is doing pretty good on getting the gear as well.
It is a mistake to generalize any group to bad or good. I do think this one is exceptional in many ways and could set a standard for other LSs to follow.
Good luck on finding a decent one and it will be a fun and profitable time.

I just had an awkward thought run through my head. If Krystal played on Asura, I'd totally pearl her in a second. Am I alone in thinking this?

Most abyssea LS are held by retarded loot whore leader; never interested joining those. They just want to get you triggered for their emp weapon/armor.

I mean 90% of time they are random /sh people from Port Jeuno; even average member lot crap they can't even use and the leader won't care.

How do you know you got a shitty loot whore LS? When you go aby event, half of the party/alliance members are afk almost entirely except lotting. And the leader will take all your money and weapon items or selling ra/ex drop to other people.

Perhaps. Click on her name and read through some of her other posts, and you'll probably come to the same conclusion.

Abyssea is midgame content. 90 is not the current terminal cap, 99 is.

It's endgame until the cap is raised. Period. "mid game" LOL. ... If you want to be that technical, then really, level 45 is "mid game."

Oh, I've read many of her posts. I think her viewpoints and outspoken nature would lead to quite the spike in LS chatter.

Loving how Krystal hasn't responded to anything Great Guardian has said.

Par for the course at this point, so I'm not complaining, lol.

Funny thing is I'd probably pearl Krystal at least to my Abyssea SP's private linkshell, if not my main Endgame shell if he was on my server. Not entirely as a joke either, because it's a lot easier to show someone the difference between real Endgame and poser Endgame than it is to tell them.

Some of the better players I know now were equally confused years ago around ToAU release. Get someone with even an ounce of potential in a solid, intelligent environment and they can improve by leaps and bounds. The only setback is that the solid, intelligent communities in this game are few, far between, and all very cautious with adding new members (for obvious reasons). Added to that, it's hard for a low-tier player to tell the difference between a good shell and a crap shell with the same "Endgame" label on it like the one from the OP. It's easy as hell to call anything an "Endgame" shell. That doesn't make it one. Those of us in the Endgame scene can tell the difference a mile away, but it doesn't do us much good unless we're searching for a shell anyways.
