Selbina isn't merging with anyone... So March 27th really means nothing to him.

OP, how much time have you spent checking? Here on Lindblum AF parties have been going crazy fast. Just shout in Ul'Dah and you're bound to get one in less than half an hour.

Did you shout for Party?
Did you wait for Party shout?

In Lindblum I did 7/7 jobs in 2 days just PUGing. It sucks but Linkshells generally only care about keeping member numbers up and not exactly about the members themselves. Good ones exist, but they're rare.

Well either way, GL!

Why should he? There's a reason Selbina isn't merging in the first place... I wouldn't transfer if I were him.

Lindblum is much less populated and AF parties are popping all over the place, so I'd imagine he's not shouting enough our not asking in the right places.

He just complained about Selbina sucking, there's an option for him, sheesh....

Same on Saronia.

On 3 separate occasions I decided to just go hang at the NM/dungeon spot for the AF quests and within minutes there was a group there or one was already there that I just teamed up with. Some of the place like the Mines or Natalan you can just follow people in and grab the crate behind them.

i have shouted an waited and all that. just ppl in selbina are very clicky and selfish. kinda sux bad. think bout tranferring. another thing is that the folks that i helped out alot to lvl up and get achievements wont even gimme 10 min of their time.

I'm gonna say all lies, I got my af quest done, no ls, shout groups where people helped me out the whole way, people who didn't even need the quest helping.

I haven't had any issues getting PuGs for AF groups to be honest. People are constantly shouting for them in Uldah

I don't think the issue is that the players of Selbina are cliquey and selfish, most of the players I've met have been nothing but kind and helpful.

cuz yall prolly have connects. so dont gimme that bs fool

I was referring to true pick up groups, not running with my friends or linkshell mates, so no, it's not BS.

You have a reputation for being hot headed, intolerant and impatient, so can you blame them for being hesitant to help you out? Try being nice to people for once, I hear it works wonders...

Really? No wonder so many LSes have been wiped from the face of Eorzea.

Running a successful ls is not a numbers game. It's about reputation. That reputation is built through teamwork, caring for members, and keeping them engaged.

Sorry you've had such a rough time OP, but I'd suggest finding a new shell. If your LS mates won't help you, what's the shell good for?

Vegeta666, I'm sure you realize this but let me remind you - Reputation counts for a lot in a community, and you need to build a good rapport with at least one group of people in order to do anything in the game. Even if you opt for pickup groups, people might naturally shy away from you simply because of the negativity surrounding your name.

We have the same problem with one particular player on Mysidia who has resorted to begging for Linkshell invites due to his shouts of random stupidity on the streets of Ul'dah.

Probably can't get parties because half your server has you on their blist.

You can't get your LS to help you unlock job AF?
What a crappy LS.

I must admit, I also find it painful. I didnt see an Aurum-Raid shout today or MNK Endfight.
Atm its a "get it done now..or never" cause since there arent any newcomers to the game, this issue might vanish after 2.0 but now its a real pain.
Most ppl done these quests at the weekend where the patch came out.
Right now I see some ppl shouting for ppl for certain quests for 2 hours.

I find the exact same problem on Lindblum to be honest with you.Even people shouting are becoming picky with the classes I find.This is what is making these quests so long, gathering a party is really tough. Luckily I've gotten the classes I want done and I like to think my reputation is high I don't think I have ever made anyone mad or ever not helped someone who needed it even randoms but still I agree it is frustrating.

You should come to Mysidia and join my pickup groups! I just throw up recruit for Any > Lv50 and start shouting. Even so, it's a rarity that we fail to do what we set out to get done.

Sound kinda weird , What was LS for if they're not keep contacting each other and helping each other out.
Well from all the comments i read , maybe it's your attitude that keep ppl away from you.
Keep in touch with ppl around you will cause you no harm I would say.

One of 2 things, either people on Selbina think you are an asshole and will not invite you, or your LS members are assholes (what you are saying in this thread) the general consensus in my ls is we help people when they need it and we are free for no personnal gain because we are all friends, we don't need to be told we should help eachother we just do. That is what will keep a LS going because when we open applications we can tell our friends how awesome the LS is and how we always help eachother out.

I am very active in all my LS even a leader in two of my linkshells. I think I can also say that most who have played with me would think I was fun to play with and very helpful in fact I even put off leveling and doing things for myself to help others pretty much every night (^_^;; which is putting me abit behind but I don't mind) so my attitude definitely isn't the problem in my opinion. Parties will come up and do it can just be frustrating sometimes but I don't know what it is my 3 linkshells are great with some amazing people maybe I am just impatient lol.

My problem is that I was rolling with a group to do Darkhold so we can do Aurum Vale (that's what it's called, right?) and get the final piece of our Dragoon armor. We wiped a good amount of times because we didn't plan accordingly (or stick to the plan the first time) and it kind of bit us in the ass in the end.

It was late so a lot of us logged off. When I logged back on the next day I found out that they finished darkhold and were about to complete Aurum Vale, so that kind of bummed me out. Not because they did it without me, I mean, I was offline so there was nothing they could do about that. What bums me out is that they're on my friends list but I'm kind of hesitant to ask them for help. I know they finished it so I don't want to hassle them even though they probably wouldn't mind one bit.

It's how I am in real life as well. I want my Dragoon armor but I also want the 4000 seals you get for completing darkhold. Basically, what I'm getting at is, "Make me be more assertive!"

I'm not even sure that was the right word to use, but I'll roll with it.

/nod

From start to finish I'm 7/8 for jobs. These was all done via pick up parties. Bard which took the longest to get a party was a little over 2 hours be we got it done. You need to be patient, if you can't find a party asap, and short on time, get the initial 2-3 quest's done solo (most of em are solo-able) and shout for the party oriented quests.

Transfer to Wutai (Masamune). We have a great community here.

might wanna try a new linkshell if they dont do anything.

saronia community ftw!!

I'm 6/7 on only got war left which I'll finish up tommorow I have had no problems finding groups. One thing I did different after I finished mnk and blm was unlock and finish as much of the quests for my other 5 jobs that I can solo, then wait on shouts or shout my self.

Get a new LS :C

k lemme set somethin straight. first off if i have a bad rep then why do ppl come to me for help? also i have NEVER refused to help any1. EVER!!!! #2. u prolly say that shift cuz i dont put up with selfish, ignorant folks. and i wont point fingers here ( cough cough shiftcough) #3 ive helped countless linkshells with alot of different things so that right there has given me lots of friends and connects. and the only time i get ill tempered is when i cant solve some1s problem or some1 is getting wrongfully blasted by other folks. so that being said, i suggest u get ur facts straight before u try and blast my rep to hell on these forums! ya dig?!

p.s ive already put in a server transfer. ive noticed there are alot of good folks from mysidia, lindblum and a few others just by looking thru the forums.

also my ls is prolly one of the best on the server. the ls master has done an amazing job. i can easily say the linkshell is all made up of very skilled players including meself. ik that there is already a group in my ls that is static so i really cant blame em for not being able to help me. been pretty busy with work, school, kids, and my unit so ima have to leave my ls outta my OP.

Imho, not if they won't help you finish your job quests they aren't. You could say they might be one of the most skilled LSes on the server, but if there is a lack of teamwork, they are not the best LS.

The best LS is one that may (or may not) have a large group of skilled players. The best LS is one where the highly skilled members help the lesser skilled members, through teaching game mechanics, strategy, outfitting gear, helping to complete quests, are friendly, and most of all are helpful.
