I don't know if it's necessarily good/bad, and this is only my own viewpoint, but my server is quite divided. Most of the experienced raiders are in a handful of FCs and only run any content with each other, even roulettes, organised through a few linkshells. Everyone else is left to their own devices.

A shame, but I don't blame anyone individually. People outright ignore PF requirements, eg joining farms when they have no idea of fight, so sticking with people you know is the only way of getting anything done now.
