Ok SE, I know you said you have lots of other things planned for "fixing" the game at the moment, but what technology age are you living in that you have to keep mentioning it's 'hard' to implement something based on how you slapped it there in the first place?

So what can FFXIV linkshells do currently? Anywhere chat, who's on, who are the leaders, and in general if you're within the same area as another linkshell member or not.

What do FFXI's linkshells do? Everything mentioned above PLUS; the actual area the player is in, current job levels if they decided to display, a more simplified list to showing who is online, and the linkshell message. The only thing a FFXIV shell shows that a FFXI shell doesn't is the total number of people with a said shell pearl.

We are talking about a game that's supposed to be an improvement over your previous MMO, and you can't even get some of the same basic features in it?

Oh, and the thing about the Lodestone having linkshell features that SE said to use instead...I didn't know something like that actually existed on the site until I saw a server post a few days ago.
