To encourage you to just join a linkshell and ask for help, thereby creating a small bond between players that can grow in the future and create community, friendships and add value to your gaming experience; ultimately so that you don't spend aeons soloing endgame content that you could just do in a group in a tenth of the time.

Most likely is that one day they'll announce the game will shut down in a year/six months and they'll unlock everything at that point for a free-for-all; presumably a couple of years after the last content was added (July 2023).
