Totally agree with all of those, they should of been implemented at the start.

This topic needs more attention though honestly most of these "issues" shouldn't have existed from the start. Seriously, who creates a guild system without the option to boot someone who's not in your area or offline?

Man, I think I'm in the minority when I say I hate multiple LS's and is an option to block out other LS chat viable for LS leader admin? I can understand having some other social LS for chatting or one for special events, but right now, people run around with several LS pearls and just jump from one to the next when someone is doing something. It just promotes selfishness. I guess I'm old fashion when back in the days, you join an LS to help that LS, not join an LS to only put it on when something is happening.

I somewhat agree, but at the moment there are many people leaving the game after a little while, and as we know, limited with things to do ingame. So it becomes natural for many players to keep several Linkshells, to keep themselves occupied. But of course, leechers will always exploit such a system.

Well, to be fair, it's not a guild system. Linkshells are essentially the equivalent of invite-only chat channels.

However, I fully agree with the expressed sentiment - it's completely and utterly absurd that you can't remove someone who's offline. All of the OP's suggestions should be implemented.

That is incorrect, while at the current moment thats about all they ammount to, Linkshells are technically a guild system. You dont give "chat channels" emblems and ranks if its not supposed to be a guild. ontop of that you don't base future content on said "chat channels".

This is a very annoying issue for us Linkshell Leaders, having to break and remake our shell dozens of times due to inactive members cluttering up the shell. This is just one of the reasons I stopped playing the game and probly won't come back until it is adressed because its silly not to fix one the core feature of your game so that you can increase mob size or tweak targetting 75 times.

Bump for love and glory

As I have stated many times before since launch, we need better Linkshell options. My main issue is rebuilding the LS I created on September 22 to its former glory but I cannot do so with 19 of my 27 members being inactive cluttering up my LS. So here are a few LS options I believe should be worked on.

• Linkshell message.
  
• Leader controls to Demote/Promote/Remove linkshell members remotely. (INCLUDES offline members)
  
• A way to show/hide offline members or change it so online members show up first.
  
• Being able to select a color pallette to change LS emblems to desired color combo.
  
• The ability to invite members of the LS to a group without having to use to the group search funtion OR social list.
  
• The ability to pass leadership to another player in the linkshell.
  
• The ability to see what Location/Rank/Class my members are.
  
  OPTIONAL:
  
• An option to show last login time/date of members.
  
• The ability to talk to multiple LSs with out having to change my current one. (maybe by doing /l#?)
  
• Ability to leave an oflline message or note.

I miss being able to creep on my linkshell mates and seeing what class they're playing and what level and where they are and where they're from. Yeah pretty much FFXI linkshell basics. FFXI's Linkshell and LFP system was pretty spot on minus a few odds and ends.
