Linkshell for Raid PUGs

From Reddit: http://redd.it/2h9jft

Does anybody think that such a thing is worth having on the server?

Basically, it should get more players exposed to Coil, EX, etc. and hopefully improve their raid skills while reducing their use/need for Duty Finder, Party Finder, and statics and instead, have a consistently large pool of people to work with.

That's an awesome idea!! Do it! ♡

To my knowledge there has been several LS created with that purpose already, unfortunately communication between players seems a bit lackluster so I cannot say if there is anything functional at the moment.There is plenty of people ready to offer help but not enough showing an interest to receive it. If you do make the LS id be more than happy to help, IGN Masha Buttons ( I do not have a reddit account to reply in there)

With regards to communication, do you mean in the fight or communicating what runs are needed and forming parties for that? The LS could have a rule that you need to be able to use mumble or something if that's what you mean.

Ryu, in response to your message on FD forums (because I have a bad habit of reading a message, putting down my phone and then forgetting about it because the little notification icon is gone) you're welcome to advertise your LS it on our forums in the general discussion area, you should still have access to that. As an FC we've cleared everything but Ramuh and SCoB, but we just started up our static (Friendly United Coil Killers: Endgame Raiding Static :D ) so I personally wouldn't make use of this LS.

Not enough people showing an interest to receive help for raids? That makes me sad.

And as for communication, I mean for both setting up groups for particular runs and for conversing with each other during the fight. Regarding the latter point, my thought is have people capable of accessing whatever is available (TS, Vent, Mumble, etc.). I'd imagine that some people will prefer one over the other, so at least being able to talk on any platform would suffice.

I mean in communicating using forums, websites,general chat. Many people are interested in setting up various stuff however I noticed that not many step in and be actively involved. I do not personally understand why people do not seek advice or ways to better themselves however it seems to be the case for the majority of players. Many want to help but few reach out. It is a long rant I am going to cut short...

Regarding in game comm I think should be a given that everybody interesting in learning need to have some sort VoIP. Typing sucks.

In my case, this forum plus Reddit are accessible to me during the day while at work. The others I've tried so far, namely Enjin, Guildwork, and FFXIVRealm, are blocked off. I can use my phone for these places without a problem, but I'd rather be able to pull them up on my PC so that I don't have to squint at my little phone screen. If you can provide other places, I'm open to them.
