Rare Ex (Endgame) recruiting for 2.0

[Terru]

At the risk of potentially stirring this all up again I don’t see why this thread has gone the direction it has.

Before I start I am just going to say that I have no affiliation to the Rare Ex Linkshell or anyone else in this thread (except Yuri San) and this is just based on my opinion having scanned/read this thread, I am aware that posts have been edited and therefore I may have missed any controversial comments that were removed.

It was originally a cross server LS recruitment similar to what BG wished to do in the general forum, the BG post was subsequently moved by mods to the Durandal world subforum but you cannot deny that a large proportion of the people that use the forums, saw the post and were therefore aware of the recruitment drive.

(Add onto the fact that BG are as far as I am aware the most well known LS in FF14 means that they do not have to work as hard to get noticed).

Op saw that this happened, used their initiative and posted in the world subforums to make people who only look at their own world subforums aware that there is recruitment drive going on for 2.0 on other servers.

I see no problems with this and considering no action has been taken by a mod to move or delete this thread I am assuming it is not viewed as a violation of the world forum rules even if it states that the Ridil forum is for Ridil players only.

It is true that OP's post may irritated some people by saying that they were in the top 2NA LS's in the server, that sort of statement is hard to validate so it may have been better to leave it out and let people make their own assumptions of the quality of the Linkshell based on its achievements (relic and white raven etc, etc).

The fact that the first comment basically slagged off Op on his grammar, formatting and linguistics seems to be almost petty/snobbish.

I will be first in line to say that my english written skills are very poor, I never cared much for it in a casual setting, why should anyone else be any different? Who cares if it is the sign of a good leader or a bad leader, doing a trial wont kill you, if you like what you see then keep going and if you don’t then stop trailing with them.

If you plan on moving servers to join an LS you would think that they would do a bit of homework on the LS in question first and if you think you have made a mistake they are allowing server changes for a fee I believe in 2.0 so it wont kill you.

The spamming comment I can't talk about, I do not use the forums enough to see everything that gets posted so I will leave it at that but as mentioned before, it is an advertisement and these are normally spammed anyway.

The flame war that has ensued from that point onwards should not really have happened, every other world forum has a max of 4-5 replies with the exception of Excaliber and Ridil which to me says to me that it is a very small minority who are affected/care enough to coment on it but now there is a 12 page argument for all to see (¬_¬).

Made good reading for my lunch break I suppose.

And yes this account has less than 100 posts, I am fairly sure I am not an alt but if you find out otherwise then let me know because it's starting to worry me .
