I have a linkshell with 120 friends who haven't played since beta. I don't have any of their contact information. If I don't get to play with all 120 of my linkshell members who I haven't spoken to with since the beta because I have no way of contacting them, I will quit. YOU CANNOT REPLICATE THE KIND OF FRIENDSHIP I HAVE WITH MY 120 NON ACTIVE FFXIV FRIENDS! THE SERVER MERGE WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH LINKSHELLS! YOSHIDA HATES LINKSHELL PEOPLE!

Hahahaha

You missed his sarcasm. Which is hard to believe considering the pic of Kanye xD

He's spot on though. People who are inactive and unsubbed are pretty far down on the totem pole in terms of people who should get world merge design considerations.

Most people I play with, aren't on the forums, don't check the lodestone, and barely try to open a wiki. So people not on the forums might not know unless you tell them, that's our job I guess.

And you guys know that Murugan who started the Yoshi P hates linkshells thread, is in A VERY ACTIVE linkshell, not a dead one right?

A lot of the linkshell leaders I see complaining are in active linkshells, hell I know a ls with 120 active members, its ridiculous to think people are lamenting over the loss of only non active friends, its also being in general just an ass.

I'm on a low-populated server. Wutai.
I'm fairly new to my LS, but the LS has been active since day one.
My LS leader did a /random. Done, we have a new server.

As for the whole "people won't notice, SE hates my mom"; why would SE do something if the web is already doing it?
