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

[Orophin]

i had a situation where i had no LS and was recruited specifically to hunt down this one dude. was made leader and i stayed around uldah with the linkshell off until i spotted him. a put the pearl on and kicked him for a 100k reward XD, still, its quite sad you have to resort to such trickery in order to oust undesirables.

CAT the bounty hunter o.O

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.

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



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.

I had to do this to someone before the server merge. I promoted a few other members and had a man hunt to exile the player. Found him within 15 minutes from the help of others and kicked him. We are not small so reforming would've been damaging. Good luck... hope it's not who I think it is since they moved there :P

Hello,

A problem arose with a new member of our shell today, constant foul language, personal attacks, just plain bad behaviour. No names... not important.

But these comments and attacks could not be stopped!

The person was not in range therefore could not be Exiled. We looked around to try and locate them because we wanted to prevent further upset to our members. We made contact with the Square Enix support team, the condensed GM response : We will investigate but not disclose outcomes, recommend use blacklist.

This did not stop the offender from continuing to have access to our members, and unless we all blacklist not an effective solution. What would have fixed this situation much earlier and with fewer problems, is a Non-Ranged ability to Exile.

I feel this change should be implemented in-game immediately. I ask for Dev response, and I'm sure the community may have comments too...

Thanks, Faz.

Sorry to hear this Faz, use the search function to locate where he is n KICK

I fully support this request, and although there are many game deficiencies I can excuse, this isn't one of them, as it can affect the dynamic and health of a linkshell. This is especially important as in-game relationships are oft what keeps players returning to this crumby game.

/lcmd exile <player>

NOW!

A linkshell owner should be able to exile any member with impunity. Even if it is not technically possible (right now) when a GM or staff request is made by the owner to exile a player from a given linkshell it should be carried out and not treated just as an abuse report. It is the owner's right to moderate and control their linkshells as they see fit.

You cant stand next to someone if they are hiding in their inn.

Even if there is no abuse. Falling out between linkshell members happens all the time. It would be in the greater interest and peace to not limit the range of moderation commands.

This is one of those threads that a DEV never actually replies to...

It's funny how many times the "give us linkshell administration options" issue came up
in this forum but nothing happened, just some *cricket* *cricket* *cricket*
