Hunting Linkshells: Inherently evil?

[Garlyle]

Yeah uh, the problem's got very little to do with linkshells. There are absolutely system improvements that could benefit the Marks system, and linkshells are involved in none of it. (If anything, as mentioned, it might arguably be a good thing - "players not meeting other players" has been a common complaint about XIV)

The closest to an exploitative set of linkshells I'd say we have are the PvP wintrading linkshells... but recent changes to the value of PvP rank, the decision to have Frontlines be iLvl synced and ignore Morale (and its high activity), and other factors, the advantage is actually pretty irrelevant now. And that's just exploitative - certainly nothing even close to 'evil'.
