This is why I request again a DEV response, and a damm good reason why immediate change CANNOT be made.
Doesn't matter how many times they respond, it'll be the same answer:

These functions include LS messages, the ability to remove players from the linkshell, more variations of LS crests, etc.

There are certain functions that he could add in the current state of the system, but considering how it ties to the communication within the LS, it needs to be checked thoroughly. Therefore, it isn’t something that can be implemented immediately.

I apologize for the inconvenience these issues may be causing, but we promise to improve the LS list, friends list, companies, searching for other players, etc. With these improvements, we believe the communication between the players will become much easier than it is in its current state.

With that said, we would like you to continue providing feedback.
Note that this was stated well before the 2.0 announcement, so I'm assuming the major overhaul they are referring to there is 2.0. Doesn't make it right but that's how it goes. I blame Tanaka personally.
