So I herd something was happening over here...

First off - applications to endgame groups in many games is a pretty standard thing. Start-ups are common, and usually revolve around the random "Hey, you're a pretty cool guy, why don't you join my LS/Guild/League/Clan/Whatever". If you don't like the application process some Linkshells impose, then don't apply for them. In a lot of cases it's just to have it on record - I've had plenty of instances in FFXI (and other games) where I was invited to join a Linkshell but they wanted an application just to have all the info in one place. I'm not sure what sort of job applications or Linkshell applications you've been filling out, but there's a world of difference in the amount of information requested by each one. Filling out an application typically also involves creating an account on whatever site the Linkshell uses, so it makes it easier to register users and link them to the character.

Secondly - I'm not sure what your issue was with the pickup AV group. Just because previous pickup groups did it one way, does not mean others will do it that way. The Linkshell leader got an item instead of you, you say? You fail to mention, however, the circumstances around this. Who did the item drop to? Why did you expect it? If you were expecting them to call drops before the run, why did you not mention something before the run? It would appear as though you weren't able to even use the item yet (you mention that as their reasoning, and don't mention whether it was valid or not, so I'll assume it is). Why would you expect to get an item if there were no rules set in place before the run, the item didn't drop to you, and you can't even use it? Bringing up the nonsense with stat caps - you don't know what's going to happen in future updates in this game, and even in the current version, being at stat caps doesn't mean you don't need items that give more bonuses to said stats - they'll allow you do swap another item out. Is this logic beyond your comprehension?

Lastly - I felt obligated to read your entire post seeing as this is clearly in reference to the linkshell we shared (apparently not anymore), but honestly it was trying. If you're not going to use appropriate capitalization, spelling, and grammar, please refrain from your nonsense verbiage. All it's doing is limiting your audience and killing your credibility.

All-in-all, Reiko - I'd say I'm sorry to see you go but I'm pretty indifferent about it. You seemed cool, but I'd only seen you once or twice in game. I'm not sure you fully grasp the concept of a Linkshell. The point is to do activities with them. As someone who didn't do much with other members of the Linkshell, why would you think someone would want to give you an item? Simply being in a Linkshell is not the same as participating in one.

I wish you the best of luck, but your thread is a glorified "waa, I didn't get the item I wanted" thread.
