dont think general/master of a shell should be passed unless they leaving the game and atm if your leader is seeking to leave might as well start over or join a already active shell.
takes me 5 secs already to see what rank who is by checking pro or lodestone ~.~ ingame would just make things laggy. then check social list to see if there on.

Loyalty ? ? ? why have more then one shell, If you have a shell that can do everything from sping to End of content for you having multiple ls just causes more drama.
Maybe because im a leader in Elite I onry rock one crest. understanding everyone whos not in my shell is on my social list.
Maybe a function to have everyone in your shell on your social list.
Hiding your online is kinda meh, if you dont want to be talked to just go to a special place and dont respond.
and making the social list available for like 500 people vice 200 because maybe one day ill have everyone on the server on the social list as long as they not on my blist.
Not all of my suggestions are based on the here and now situation and state of the game, months/years down the line a LS leader might say goodbye to his long time LS and the members want to continue, instead of remaking and such he could pass lead to one of his second in commands.

Not every linkshell is tight knit like that so using your own LS as an example is not going debunk the suggestion or make it lose merit. My LS is a bunch of nice, cool, mature and chill people with a few bad apples who ofcourse ragequit the game. Now when I check my LS list I have to scroll through 10+ ppl just to see a few ppl that are online.

Same concept in XI, the elitest only want you to have one shell, but you have friends with social shells or random shells just for the lulz with a name you just can't help but join. I am in favor of the latter, I have plenty of friends in XIV that has been growing since closed beta, I currently run my shell and I have pearl to my friend's LS and they have one to mine. Loyalty has nothing to do with this as I am not a douche and i don't condone any douche-baggery in my LS so if we do take part in end-game activities and they tell me another shell they are in is going to kill xyz NM and suggests we beat them to it, he'll find himself 1 less linkshell on his person.

These suggestions are for your average joe LSs and are only intended to help even without a way to communicate with multiple LSs people will still have more then one on them unless SE removes that feature. If you are having any lag issues with the game as it is now I would suggest a small upgrade instead of downing suggestions that wouldn't even add any stress on the network or computer no more then a 8year+ old game did back then.
