Well my understanding is linkshells are supposed to only be a means of communication across great distances, where as companies are more of a clan or guild of like minded individuals where being a member of such clan/guild provided perks suchs as group crafting, housing, and battle content. I remember reading that there would be company content that you would use ships/airships to get to. Also companies would not have the ridiculous player cap that LS's have as well as more functions such as ranks, the ability to remove folks if need be, pretty much all the functions LS's are lacking.

It doesn't take a genius to see the difference between companies and linkshells.

But lets say you find 100 great people, you can still have 100 people. There's no need to add a public company, because linkshells can have massive amounts of people.

Cap is 120 that isn't massive amounts. And just because you have drama with more then 20 doesn't mean everyone does, we have approximately 80-100 active members there is practically zero drama, and we are still seeing approximately 10 new applications a week. We dont want to have to turn away good folks because of the 120 limit or split the shell into 2. Player ran companies was a major feature of FFXIV we just want to know if it is still being planned or not.

It sounds like you are saying "I dont want to deal with more then 20 people, so no one else should be able to." I can see why you have drama issues.

I just really hope this gets answered. Something tells me its been seen but not replied to, which actually worries me more.

Spoke with Yoshida and got confirmation that Player Companies are still in the works. :)
