Rent-a-shell network...avoid content finder?

[viion]

Is the OP intending it to be NPCs?

Or is it, a shell, full of people who wont mind doing the content for some gil, thus you equip the shell and go "50k for Darkhold Slots! Need 3"

Seems, a bit, dirty lol.

The way things are now and how insanely bad the Linkshell system is, it wouldn't work very long.

Well the intent would be a shell of players who would fill in the roles a client needs to complete their content in exchange for payment. What would separate this from just shouts in Ul'dah offering rewards for help would be the hierarchy of the linkshell. The client would be paying a trusted broker in the shell, to avoid the possibility of either side getting scammed. The client could also have an avenue to settle disputes by appealing to the linkshell creator.

An added benefit to hiring a shell dedicated to clearing content is that the mercenaries would over time become quite experienced with all of the dungeons and quests, making completion likely take less time.

The shell itself could have internal point systems as well to reward active players. Assuming that the broker would be taking a percentage of each transaction, such proceeds could be used to reward active members. Of course, this is just speculation.
