Why is this not implemented yet? Server limitations?

Because it would disrupt the flow of the typically convoluted UI and administrative options.

Not really that useful, I mean ppl could just kick offline players just to be complete jerks. What would be the point of joining an ls if this is added?

I'm pretty new to FFXIV, and even I know this is an old topic :\
It's coming eventually. Like everything else. -
03-05-2012, 07:43 AMdarkstarpoet1not really useful? it's alot more useful then having to rebuild your ls and move all members to a new one every few months due to people being inactive taking up your limited member spots.Quote:

03-05-2012, 07:46 AMAntaniasIt's only good point.Quote:

If that was to happen then you just have to chalk it up to a jerk LS leader maybe.
The pros far outweigh the cons though. -
03-05-2012, 07:54 AMAntaniasOr find another ls and tell the previous one to f*** off :DQuote:

Are you for real...................... -
03-05-2012, 07:56 AMdarkstarpoet1well i know any ls that i have been in if someone said they are taking a few months off and are returning nobody mentions getting rid of them. the only people that we ever mentioned getting rid of was people that either just left without warning, people that had been gone for months without saying anything, or people that had told us directly that they were quitting the game.Quote:

03-05-2012, 08:09 AMXelsiarAgreed. Antanias, this sense of entitlement that you get is profound! IA means you aren't playing. SO, if the LS you're in is nearing full capacity and needs to free up room for more ACTIVE members. By all right, you have no say in the matter. At that point it should be on YOU, as a player and member of said LS, to have a good standing with that LS to hold a spot for you. Linkshells purposes fall under Endgame or Social. If it's a endgame LS, they are only wanting Active members filling its slots, not a bunch of IA members, who will show up from time to time. As for a Social, since the requirements won't be as steep it's understandable that a periodic stop in play is acceptable. . .Quote:

Can i have it?
But not having any hopes, they've dodged/ignored any LS management options and blamed servers since release, I dont expect anything until 2.0, even then I think it will be very typical. -
03-05-2012, 08:23 AMAntaniasDidn't mean to come off as such, I only asked b/c stuff like this CAN happen to anyone. I also didn't see this matter discussed in previous threads so it never hurts to bring up the subject.Quote:

I made a thread about this when the forums first opened. A few others also made a thread about this months later and again months after that. We actively campaigned for this for about 2 months without cease and the only response we got was "it'll be added once the revamp is complete" or something around those lines.
I have given up hope of ever reviving my LS and just sitting on the sidelines playing XI til some love is shed. -
03-05-2012, 08:30 AMXelsiarNo prob bro! Just have to talk to the officers of the LS. If it's remotely a good LS they'll not boot you and understand. And if you do get booted and you liked the LS, And you were a good member, I have a hard time believing they wouldn't give you a pearl back. If not, then give them the big F You.Quote:
