Hunt: Well, I can confirm that all LS are almost dead since people who do hunts all use certain guides now, at least as far as I can tell.

Raiding: In terms of clearing contents, static>few raiding ls>pugs in PF. PSadly on Behemoth, you gotta know the right people, right ls, or right fc. I know there are people who aren't in static have cleared T13, just "pugging", but they are most in a linkshell together, and the community pretty much knows which people have the capability now. .....yea sorry I don't know much about other servers but raiding community is pretty bad for pugs imo on Behemoth. Dunno. IRL network is hard enough already and you gotta do this in game too :'(

Community: Most people got ls and fc they talk to, no one really talks in shout. Of course, if you say something funny interesting enough there will be people answering you. For example, people who used to hang out in Mor Dhona a lot probably remembers a guy called Swee- *oops I meannnnn nothing
