[dev1000] Dynamis Reborn!

[GERM]

If this is the end of Dynamis, I'll be glad for this reason alone. Never was an event so monopolized to make 1 individual rich on the backs of everyone else's work. Shame on me for doing that event as long as I did....

spending 500k (was 1m) per run and making gil off this was not a monopoly if you wanted to upgrade relics this was a must and now its a reduced entry time and hopefully a increased currency output for quicker upgrades. I will one day have to achieve this and I hope my shell keeps doing it despite what is to come, problem is if they reduce drops to alliance/party then a lot of people are going to get screwed in the long run from shells since there are still a limited amount of people that can be in an alliance and sometimes memebers participation exceeds 18 people..

exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market

Although a ls leader keeping all the currency for themselves could be loosely defined as an "exclusive control of a commodity in a particular market", I'll agree with you that it's probably not strictly defined as a monopoly. It's still a BS system and a complete scam over all the other members of a ls that are doing equal parts work for little, to no reward for their effort.

As I stated above, most relic armor drops are near useless so what incentive does a linkshell member have to show up and farm a person his relic weapon for him?

I'll assume you're of legal age to hold a job. Would you go to work every day to make your company lots of money if they paid you with peanuts?

And regarding your comment that hosting linkshell runs to keep all the currency for yourself is the only way to build a relic weapon - there are plenty of people over the years that have built relic weapons by simply making money doing non-dynamis related content, and purchasing all the coins. There are linkshells out there that split the currency with their members to sell, and coins that drop in union pools - somebody is out there buying these coins.

How about some do it just for the fun to help a friend? Some in the game are more respected then other, and there multi reason about it, i personally still help in dynamis (even if that make 3yr i don't need anything including relic weapon) Why you think? just because i have nothing anymore to win i should turn my back to everyone that supported me in that LS, no way... I also don't do it because i feel forced to do it, but more because we have fun and our linkshell are close friend for several yr now.

That the problem of everyone, they only help if they win something. (Can't blame the logic of this, but this don't apply anymore if you find the right LS)

Bingo. you win the prize. that is it right there. that is the only problem i see with it. It's like going to Dynamis-tav and the first 18 get to go, sorry rest of you have to sit out. Our LS still has 18+ members go to dynamis when they all show up.

Couldn't you just split up and drop and reinvite people as necessary? It really doesn't seem like that much of a dilemma.

Already been pointed out, but that's like saying Abyssea doesn't support linkshells because the maximum number of people in an alliance is 18. It doesn't even make any sense. Any good linkshell is capable of multitasking. The only events that would ever suffer from size limitations are things like Limbus and, drumroll, old dynamis.
