While there will be people that will have hard times getting a group together to help with a quest, if you had a good social linkshell then it was never a problem. Generally people loved helping other people out in my linkshell. Granted it still took forever because you had to wait for people to get done with what they were doing to help, and travel time generally took an extra 30 minutes but it was tolerable(at least for me).
