Linkshell Management Recognition

[AlexiaKidd]

I still believe that the reason they are so quiet on the LS front is that they are going to be replaced with Player Companies when the Public Companies system is added. I think LS's were never meant to be in the game but as the Company system was not ready then they needed to knock something together fast and this is what we have.

I believe Player Companies where supposed to be so much more than just a LS with Housing, Transport your own mission structure and so on. I'm sure they said at some point during all this that you would be able to own Boats and Airships. So you can see why they may be dragging their heals with this issue, is it excusable no but if they can pull off Player Companies like they originally set out in the June update or whenever then all this will be water under the bridge very quickly.

That's the impression I get, as well. As I've previously stated, every time this is brought up, we're told there are bigger priorities, like Player Companies and the battle system. It would make sense if that actually meant that pretty soon, linkshells would be obsolete. But that's not exactly something you want to tell your players.

Either way, the whole process is just taking too long and we need a way to manage linkshell members, even if the whole system is just temporary.

I just wanted to throw my support behind this thread, too. I'm not a LS leader but there are a few things we've been wishing for... It's all pretty much been said. If anybody wants to know my personal thoughts I sum it up here: Fan Service: Communication Breakdown

So while reviewing this thread I saw this:

I wondered this as well... So I guess we'll see. :/

I wouldn't even care about the "kick offline players" IF they didn't show up in the list.
Not to bang the ffxi drum, but if you reached maximum capacity then whoever tried to equip their linkpearl would get some kind of message that it was currently full.
That said, I'm okay with the cap at 100-something, but don't count offline people toward that total.
