I hear ya. I particularly like how linkshells have become exclusive as well, requiring that you permanently leave every other linkhshell that you're a member of. My server is just as bad--just a few LSs that dominate, and everyone else is left with LSs that consist of irregular players or people hopping from inactive LS to inactive LS until they finally leave the game. I've met one or two of the big LSs that will let me join them from time to time if there's an opening, but I mostly play solo or occasionally get enough people in my LS to do stuff (maybe once very month or two). Often, I form my parties by meeting people in Behest.

I'd hate to see you go, but definitely see your point. Personally, I'm fine playing solo. No, I won't get to do much endgame content, but there's so many jobs to level and there will eventually be so much stuff to do that I'm sure it will keep me around for years.
