you could have the option to turn it off- but it should default to on. Also, these channels should only be joined when a player chooses the green Experience Points flag after LFP.
...It's essentially just starting the conversation in order to get people grouped together more quickly and readily; sort of a nudge.
This is a very good idea, and one of the better written posts I've seen in a while. Well done.

There are a few technical features I'd shy away from though. First off, going to the channel automatically could cause problems. Just because you're seeking, doesn't mean you want experience points. As often as not, it's just used to let others around you know you need an invite, in the context of events. You might in fact want to be in a linkshell chat for other reasons.

Secondly, I'd shy away from grouping people into level ranges. If one is going to do traditional exp, one may be fine with syncing down from 65 to 55, or what have you. In this day and age, you're not likely to find 5 other people in your own range anyway.

This wouldn't have to be just for persons seeking traditional exp, but for anyone seeking any form of exp, duos, MMM, or Abyssea.

Also, there could be other channels as well. There could be one for missions and quests as well, one for crafting, etc.
