The whole 'One Linkshell Rule' thing...

[Riv]

The problem is there are so many fucking noobs in this game, and we aren't even at PS3 release yet. Even the so called actual endgame LS's struggle to find decent players and are therefore half filled with noobs. I did an AV run a few weeks ago with one of my LS and there was at least one dude who had never even done AV before. Really? At this stage of the game? And it's no wonder that group could barely handle speed runs, much less 17 min ones. It's a story that's repeated itself for many LS on the server. I can think of like 2 NA LS that actually accomplish things without having major derp fests.

People try things with different LS out of desperation. I'm not saying i approve of shell hoppers, in fact I hate them. I wish i did have one LS that could get everything done that i wanted to do. But when you're forced to fail shit repeatedly due to filling the pt with the noobs of your LS, it's frustrating.

The fact of the matter is that there aren't enough "good" or dedicated players on the game right now. The ones that are around are already in the aforementioned LS's that actually get shit done. In my experience, most people think they are better players than they actually are.

You have to train newer players, or you're never going to find that LS you're looking for. Not everyone has played this game while it was pretty awful (and let's be honest, it's still very mediocre) and did the content right as it came out.

You're going to have to invest in the community to see a return.

I am sorry but God you sound like a Dbag...
as if you started the game level 50 already
yes some players started just months weeks or days ago and yeah at some point they will want to do some runs once they hit 50
and the "experienced" or "awesome" players like you should tell them what to expect.
Some time when I do things for the first time (yeah I am one of those newbie I guess), and I MENTION that I never did it, nobody takes time to explain what's gonna happen... sorry that I don't want to spend time to check youtube, lodestone and ever single website to understand what to do in Hamlet or Ifrit or whatever the awesome player like you do.
I personally can't wait to create my own noob-helping LS once 2.0 hits because the game is confusing since nothing in-game give you clear indication of how to play efficiently

Hope I never get to play with you btw
