Communities ingame

[Petboiler]

I'm a relatively new player to the game. I've played a little over 900 hours by now and still have much to learn

But I can't get over the in game community systems. I'm talking about the Linkshells, CWLS and Fellowships
So far I got a couple doubts on these systems I would like to know if anyone can clarify or justify them to some extent.

* Why are fellowships a thing?

- I honestly don't see a point in them existing if there is no easy way to organize or chat with the people member of it.

* Why doesn't the CWLS have more slots?

- Since the fellowships have 1000 slots and it is also cross-world how come we only get 64 slots on these

* Are "local" Linkshells still a thing?

- From the info I've been getting from more veteran players in my FC and CWLS no one seems to know if they are gone or not. Cause they don't appear to have an in game menu but they still appear in the FFXIV website.

* Why not fuse all into one?

- If the slots issue is a system data management problem why not condense all systems into one resource with less confusing menus? And while at it throw a FC calendar for events, no? Ok ;(

If anyone could help me with some of these questions I would appreciate the veteran insight, maybe from previous similar questions.
