Why does Yoshida hate linkshells/communities?

[Murugan]

It is obvious.

• The personal loot system (reasoning because groups(linkshells) "pressure" people to give away items)
• Server transfers over merges without even allowing players who are inactive to remain on the same servers as their linkshell

My conclusion Yoshida got booted from some LS for being a total noob in DAoC or whatever MMO he played, and now as a director is taking it out on all linkshells.

Thanks a lot Yoshida you screwed us once again! Way to stick it to those linkshells!

As of the last official word from SE:

Greetings all,

Yoshida's most recent post lets players know the current plan for the World Merge.Quote Originally Posted by Naoki_Yoshida View Post

I’d first like to thank you for all of your posts.
I’ve been looking at the threads across all regions and I’m sorry that this has caused a huge disturbance amongst each of the regions.

Currently, we're seeing a lot of feedback that favors plan ②, and we're considering revisions that use plan ② as a base while retaining the merits of plan ④. The operations and development teams will continue to gather everyone’s feedback while we investigate further. This is also a technical matter and we also need to confirm schedule timing, so I’m sorry to say that we’ll need some additional time and that this will continue through the weekend and into the start of next week.

For the Topics announcement, we considered temporarily taking it down, but we decided against that as we feared that if players were unable to see the information, you wouldn’t be able to discuss it with the same background knowledge. Therefore, we’ll be keeping the current announcement up as we go into next week.

Just to reiterate, there are a lot of players that are voicing their concerns, and we will strive to find an acceptable balance as much as possible before moving forward. Therefore please keep this in mind and try to understand our reasoning.

Plan 2 is:

A + B - X ⇒A World to merge with B World, except people that would like to move are able to choose a different World.

Which is what most of the people have been asking for here.
