Huh, thats funny as I'm pretty sure that is what I do. I asked a question on name change with a smiley face (that usually indicates a lack of anything outside amusement) and you are the one who came in here being a dick telling me how to run things on a question I "CLEARLY" asked in amusement not out of any hostility. I got hostile when you showed a supreme amount of disrespect for something I do because I enjoy it. What do you people all have Smiley's disabled or not know what they mean? Seriously. There was never any salt or hostility.

On to other things.

As for why I don't include non FC's. That is for a number of reasons.
1) It makes the list a mess quite honestly.
2) Most importantly I believe that LS (only) groups are bad for the community as a whole. I actually posted a long bit about this in another thread. The major problem this game has is a complete lack of community and the fact that everything is so fragmented up among LS's. Now LS's aren't the cause of this, it is the combination of them with largely 8 man content. So yes I focus on the things that Build communities which are Free companies, Not linkshells. Sorry but it is the LS that is the glorified chat room not the FC. If you don't understand that and sit around wondering why the community seems so fragmented, perhaps at some point 1+1 will = 2. It isn't difficult to figure out for anyone who has been around these types of games for years. So not it isn't me being belittling or disrespectful of those not affiliated with a FC. Actually I do include multi FC groups, I just have specific requirements for it. As for not including multiple groups within a FC, there is just zero point as that likewise just clutters up the list. Everyone knows that FFXIV has multiple groups clearing Turn 9 for example. So yes I chose to exclude it because it serves no real purpose. Also before anyone says something stupid like (well you only do that to make DH look better because you have fewer groups herp durp). Actually at the time I established that policy we had as many if not more groups clearing content as anyone outside of FFXIV, so obviously that wasn't the case. I did it explicitly for the reasons I stated, no motives no nothing outside wanting to Spotlight the things that I know can help the community come together. I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I would like to see this game and its community grow and it be something I can play like everquest for 5+ years and enjoy every minute of it. Everyone remaining isolated in their own little 8 man world and guilds be damned is just something I am not supportive of because it is counter productive to the community growing. You are free to disagree with me, just as you are free to start another progression thread if you don't like how I run it.

I don't know why the lot of you came in here thread crapping and personally I don't really care. If you think I won't respond to being disrespected to what was an obvious amusement question though you are sorely mistaken. If you have some chip on your shoulder against me personally, again I really do not care. Take it else where or be an adult and approach me directly. Sorry but I quit playing childish highschool games and popularity contests years ago.
