Linkshell Options

[Keith_Dragoon]

I rarely look at the Ls list, I say hi in chat, the people on say hi back.
@ the one shell, As in Ls elite you can have more then one shell as long as your not a lead, but i do not see the point in having more then one shell anyways. If i wanted to gather people, whether their in elite or in another shell, i'd just check my social list see whos on which is sorted by whos online first then those offline.
Say their was a dynamis like event, I would rather see whos online that i already know is good at what they do then find a rag tag team of people who are content hogs that will take me years to get the gear i wanted in the first place.
One crest, many friends, No need for beef, Just check your social list it will solve many of your issues, like having one shell, one ls chat, one party chat, ability to see people online not in your current shell selected that you are friends with.
but seriously you could rock a crest armyofone, and still get all you need in the game through social list .

I suggest making a bigger pool of people on your social list keith if you want to downsize all your problems now. instead of waiting for somewhat useful adds, even though most could be solved by adding people to your social list

The only useful ls adds would be the Lsmessage and the remote boot.

Thats a personal opinion

The social list I use for friends that are not in my LS and friends that I added prior to them joining my LS. In XI I had to constantly sort through my friend's list because the 100-200(can't remember how much cap was) was constantly full. I make ALOT of friends when I play games like these and I should NOT have to use my social list to tell if my Linkshell members are online. It makes no since, why even have a Linkshell list if your gonna add everyone to your social?

I never liked the fact that you couldn't chat on more than one LS at a time in FFXI. I like that you can in FFXIV, although I would like shortcuts like /l1, /l2, etc... In particular I always thought it would be nice to view the chat from my main LS (which was a largely social LS) while doing something with an event LS. So, FFXIV has made progress in LS functionality at least in this one aspect. Now we just need events so there are reasons for event LSes.

Well said, this is one of the resons why I made this topic, for the players that need/want this not for those who can find a silly work-around and call it fixed.

yes its all opinionated,
30 ls chats vs one social list(cap is 200)
There is a delete function; therfore, if someone has not spoken to you in forever you can remove them from list.
if you need 200 or more then you may have an issue with depenecy.
If you add all your friends in game you should have <200 with current server population.
If you need more then one Ls, You have to ask yourself why does my other Ls cannot meet my needs?
If you need/discard another friend can you add/remove another person to social list ? yes and remotely add/remove as well.
