Thank you for your feedback Jimsvaliant.

It is important to hear the impressions of new and returning players. You bring up a very valid and very dangerous concern about the Linkshell that did not allow you to join.

I believe some Linkshell management tools will allow more linkshells to be more friendly to new and returning players.
(i.e. LS not having a way to manage inactive players, with a limit to the players that can be in a linkshell, reforming as their population reaches max.)

Anyhew, welcome to Eorzea. I do hope your future experiences here are more pleasant.
