Gear Score, in my ARR?

[Laughlyn]

Did anyone else's head just explode reading this comment?

What is so good and decent about a community where it is better to stick to your tribe than venture out to encounter new people?

Im not sure you fully understood what i meant.

Let me ask you a question instead.

Why did you join a LS?
or this one...
Why do you have friends in FFXIV?

Either way, will your friends in that LS ask for your
Gearscore when its time for an LS event?

Somehow i doubt they would, but... PUG shouts in cities
might ask for X amount of Gearscore requirements for joining.

So... wich would you choose?

go with your LS that wont ask for Gearscore or PuG wich asks for it?

What i just wrote above is how things are & will be, full stop.

And whats good about this community?
Thats like asking, why in gods name did SE implement Linkshells.

I would also like to point out that certain (unamed) LS atm only do things with
certain members in this game, never inviting any new ppl to their LS.
(And this almost hurt to say but they been doing pretty damn good on their own, they dont need new ppl)

This is what makes a LS / Company a strong & progressing group of players.
They rely on their friends & knows every move of their fellow party members & they sure the hell dont need Gearscore to filter out "Bad" players just because their GS is low.
(This is where the word "Skill" of playing their Jobs properly comes into play)

I myself...i like player personalities.

And meeting new people?
Are you saying once a player join a LS / Company they cannot meet new ppl?
I meet new ppl when i do caravan runs, PuG shouts events, when im out gathering etc.
I've even invited a few from such events to the LS im in now.
