This current system harms endgame communities, and helps only those who equate luck and farming with elitism. Now I have played MMO endgames for years and I can handle the work, and I would gladly gear a hundred of my members before getting the item I want if it meant I could improve my linkshell. I don't care about the work, I don't care about rarity.

I care about Square Enix telling us "you can't have an endgame linkshell currently, we are taking that out of your hands. You are there to facilitate the formation of groups, and ultimately we are restricting you on this content so that you are no different from any chat channel including Ul'dah's /shout channel."

What of the people who have been in my LS for a solid year doing whatever qualified as endgame as a team? Showing up when we need them? There are many in my LS who are just that, and they despite their efforts have no luck at Ifrit. I can do nothing to help them get the rewards they want while I get those rewards for the 5th or 6th time and they drop into oblivion as I got them already in the first week.
