ugh... all I ask for is a command to be able to remove players (offline or online) from the linkshell with no silly condition of them having to be logged on and nearby.

It can't be that impossible to add a command to do it. This is a needed feature in the game.

If they can revamp party search, add in market search, they can add in a freakin command line to remove someone from a linkshell. >_<
