you know what grinds my gears?

[Squiggles]

I'm morbidly curious.

there was no "shout act," it was a campbell's condensed soup version of this thread, and general consensus agreed with me.

the comprehension skills of this forum are astoundingly below average. instead of labeling someone as an entitled brat, use your brains, read, and think before you type.

generalizing about linkshells being ran with imputinous elitism, their massive exclusion, and how they are detrimental to the game as a whole is not entitlement whatsoever.

Who could disagree with soup?

Hey Squiggles, I have a great endgame linkshell for ya, we do lots of events and have a great tight nit group of people who we classify as friends and all enjoy eachothers company.. but I just need you to fill out a quick app for me to get to know you and your play times etc to see how you would fit with our group..


oh wait.... I said that app word.. didnt I ><

minus the saccharic sarcasm, wouldn't that be easier to ask them personally?

Made me own ls. Its pretty great. I boot the ls whores who have 5-6 ls's and will go through them all asking for help or parties to get stuff done but never help others in my ls or take part in ls parties that don't benefit them.

Otherwise my ls has no rules, doesnt take itself seriously (this is a game), has no application and is primarily and most importantly a social.

Its lots of fun. Although attrition rate in FF14 is horrible and every month it seems like you are playing with a whole new ls.

Are you seriously calling attention to the fact that "most people in shout" agreed with you like that means anything positive? I don't think I've ever read a single conversation in shout that didn't make me immediately blist anywhere from one to all of the participants involved. Well, of course you are! You're also the same person who uses random "ten dollar" words (some of them not even legit!) to make themselves sound smarter, even though they haven't learned to use capitalization or to clearly define what it is they're even saying! Don't make LSes exclusive or inclusive, obviously! They have to be just right! Haven't you ever read "The Story of the Three Bears"!?

So, yeah. Keep trolling. Enjoy! If you actually believed what you were saying, you wouldn't have said it. You'd have just made an LS of your own and pearled everyone you ever met. You should try it out and tell us how it goes.

Why tho? If they truly want to be a part of the linkshell, they will respect our wishes and fill an app, it has been said many times.. It's a quick way of getting a few details about someone.

An app serves more then just paperwork, it allows me to see if the person is serious in maintaining an endgame shell. If they take the time to visit the site, register and then fill out an app, it shows commitment and willingness to participate in end game.

This has been the case since playing EQoA for ps2, any organized shell will want this.. especially with 14 having no lsmessage its a great way to have people visit your site and in our circumstance our site is a great way to communicate outside of game, providing sched times to numbers to contact members when short..

I rarely ask people personally unless I happen to play with them and they can meet our guidelines and even then I would still have them fill out an app to keep things organized and fair to all prior members who did need to app..

Another reason I like apps is its a way of finding any bad reputation this player has before inviting them to your shell, we keep a mature attitude and treat members respectfully last thing I want is some douche trying to ruin that chemistry..

I am kind of rambling on but all in all I do think an app is a great tool.

People shout quite often for members for their social Linkshells in Uldah. I see it every single day. Balmung can't possibly be the only server this happens on.

If it's just social interaction you want. Why not try one of those?

Unless that is they don't meet your standards.

[CookieBandit]

oh, so writing an opinionative article makes one a pretentious lout who believes that they should be invited with honors to every shell.

or.. the point flew right over your head, and you felt the need to spew inane patronization at me.

no, the point is, link shells should not be exclusive clubs and or part time jobs. all the hoop jumping and clique-ish behavior is detrimental to new and returning players alike to experiencing content. get over yourself.

So then I have to ask, why are you playing a FINAL FANTASY mmorpg?

Edit: Why are you playing ANY mmorpg?
