Running an abyssea group (or a linkshell as you would call it) doesn't in my opinion count as making and running a real linkshell. Sorry booboo. You don't know and probably could never had run a larger scale endgame LS.

If running a endgame ls was SO EASY I wonder why more didn't do it? Because counting attendance, points, scheduling, gathering and dealing with people takes PATIENCE and HARD WORK. And surprise, yes you have to explain strats sometimes! You lead an abyssea LS. LOL at that counting.

As for Aerith, as i said to GG, you're being delusional. THAT is work and requires patience and dedication. If it's so easy.. Why did so many starting their own endgame ls at 75 bomb? Because people dont have the time or patience to deal with running it.

Running a freakin abyssea LS does not really count... U dont need a LS for abyssea... Ugh.. Why is this so hard to understand that isn't really large scale ls content?
Lulz. You're really grasping for straws. I've never lead a linkshell for Abyssea. In fact, it's probably the only thing I haven't lead a linkshell for. Why would anyone need a linkshell for Abyssea?

You sound like someone who's used to dealing with some godawful members. Attendance is hard? Points are hard? Herp derp I can count to potato and put a number in a spreadsheet. Scheduling? Gathering? God forbid, job selection? Open notepad, it takes 2 minutes. Hell, back at 75 I was perfectly capable of saying "Make some parties and don't be stupid", and people would do it without any other instruction.

Try recruiting mature adults instead of teenagers and "adults" with the mentality of a high school girl sometime and you'll find that it's a night and day difference. Of course, it takes a good leader to attract real talent. Most linkshells fail because 1) Most of the good talent already has a home, 2) Most of FFXI's playerbase is woefully immature, and 3) Most leaders just aren't that good at it.

My rules were simple. I don't care who's screwing who, who dislikes who, or what you do in your free time. Don't give me a headache and don't let your girl's locker room drama interfere with my events and you're golden. Respect in = Respect out.
