Hello there OP. I see as of my posting this you have only posted 4 times on these forums.
Given the general mix of thinking abilities here (and i do love those who don't as a matter of fact),
we could always use more intelligent people, so i do hope you post more often. =D

Also, i'm not worried about content finder. I think it's a good thing.
And for me personally who has all crafts to 50 (just about), and only one battle class over level 20, which isn't even at 50,
i'm most looking forward to furnishing/hanging out in linkshell houses, tending to the gardens, and building ships.
Consider having a bunch of great linkshells in your list of 8, and no longer will you be trapped in the chat log or vent.
one of mine actually has a hang out spot where you can always find members in Ul'dah, but it's not the same as walking into your own home base and finding people hangin out around the fireplace on couches or on the floor, or hangin out in the garden. The sense of community in 2.0 will be fine... especially if non LS members can be invited into the house temporarily by sackholders.
