My bad. I saw the name changes and raised an eyebrow. I assumed that they were all on and had logged due to maintenance; I didn't even think beyond that.

That seems a tad unfair because FCs don't have the same requirement; although, they're significantly harder to form. But, because nothing's stopping someone from dropping FC to join another to count for progression I think it might be better to look for solutions elsewhere. Specifically, perhaps we can limit the size of a linkshell to be less than that of two fully formed raid groups? Twelve players would be easily enough to account for subs and fifteen would give even more breathing room without lending itself to duplicate entries of overlapping linkshell kills. However, in the end of the day the judgment call can be left to Milulu as it is his thread and the trend of threads of this nature have been: "Well, if you want to record it, you can record it however you'd like."

That being said, this whole thing does raise an interesting point. On the one hand, there's no point tracking progression for a pug group, as we're only interested in statics. On the other hand, a large linkshell that pulls members who are available to kill it feels more like a pug group with a more limited pool of players (which then isn't much difference from an FC, but there's no good way to tell if an FC static is indeed a static, since those will tend to have more members). At the least, I'm interested in giving credit to those who successfully kill content, a kill is a kill, but I wish to respect the community's desire to only track the progression of static groups and not pugs. Thus, I'll be amending the rules for linkshells a little bit, and I'll try to be as fair as possible (your kill before this rule will count, don't worry).

-All linkshells must have no more than 16 members, 8 main and 8 backup raiders. Alts should not be included in a raiding linkshell.

-All linkshells should include the linkshell window in their screenshot WHILE in the completed duty screenshot, you may take multiple screenshots of the kill, loot, time, linkshell, whatever, so long as the linkshell window is visible while in the instance. (all party members must also be showing).

If you raid as a static linkshell and have more than that number of members, you may make a linkshell purely for your static team (and those backups), and just not use it, so long as the linkshell is made and named before the content is cleared. As long as that's there, then I'm certain nobody will have any problems with any further kills. And please keep all arguing out of this thread, this is not a discussion thread but a progression one, comments about progression are allowed but bickering is not.

edit: if you guys could post said screeny next week or with 11 if you get it this week, then I'd really appreciate that
