EXILE (linkshell) - Immediate change needed - non ranged ability!

[Tango]

something about how the servers communicate with one another prevents this feature from being added. I know they spent some time working on this issue and decided they could not make the fix before 2.0

I understand limitations, budgets and schedules of development...
However in RL, in my workplace "Duty of Care" is a concept that rules many of my decisions,
I feel I have a similar duty to our shell members,
I also feel Square Enix shares this "Duty of Care" to prevent abuse.

This is why I request again a DEV response, and a damm good reason why immediate change CANNOT be made.

Doesn't matter how many times they respond, it'll be the same answer:

I spoke with Minagawa regarding the linkshell list and friends list.

The dev. team is well aware of the issues with the linkshell list and friends list, but it’s going to be very difficult to address in its current state. Therefore, the devs are going to be performing a complete overhaul of the system. With this overhaul, the team is planning to add functions that have been previously requested by the community. These functions include LS messages, the ability to remove players from the linkshell, more variations of LS crests, etc.

There are certain functions that he could add in the current state of the system, but considering how it ties to the communication within the LS, it needs to be checked thoroughly. Therefore, it isn’t something that can be implemented immediately.

I apologize for the inconvenience these issues may be causing, but we promise to improve the LS list, friends list, companies, searching for other players, etc. With these improvements, we believe the communication between the players will become much easier than it is in its current state.

With that said, we would like you to continue providing feedback.

Note that this was stated well before the 2.0 announcement, so I'm assuming the major overhaul they are referring to there is 2.0. Doesn't make it right but that's how it goes. I blame Tanaka personally.

Starting to look like the problem wasn't Tanaka but is Wada. Either that or Tanaka is back from a long vacation and running things from behind a curtain.

No, it was Tanaka. He oversaw the initial release and made the conscious decision, or OK'd someone else's decision, to put a needless restriction on LS management options. It actually takes more time to create a function and then add restrictions to it. There's no reason for those restrictions to be there.

I'm almost sure development was largely outsourced to China (there are many clues that suggest this). Tanaka probably had little hands-on say on the development process, soon found himself knee deep in excrement, threw his hands up in the air and said, "oh well, let's roll with it".

We probably won't ever know the true and full story of FFXIV development because of how Japanese corporate society operates, however. Saving face is too important, so the truth mustn't ever come out. Just in case.

If you can /pcmd add and kick from a distance you should be able to do the same with a linkshell, sometimes I think SE just make up excuses because they can't be bothered to address the problem.

They used to do the same in FF11.

Indeed maybe this issue hasn't been brought up by the JP speaking players much.
SE, you say you want to compete with Blizzard and/or have more than 100K subs, etc, this is not how you do it.
