you know what grinds my gears?

#1 how do you know someone isnt lying on said applications
#2 why dont you actally take the time to train someone instead if they actually are inexperienced.

i should not have to behave like a link shell needs my devout dedication and a huge list of references and qualifications in order to play the game it was meant to be played... you know, with oher people?

#1: It will show in their skill, and they will be removed if they lied.
#2: It takes a long time to train someone, and most are more than willing to do so, but endgame shells have a standard and it is in no way wrong for them to want to keep their abilities at a certain tier.

You are acting like every linkshell should bow down and be honored to invite you into their shell. Stop it. Life is not some all-inclusive fairytale where everyone holds hands and paint rainbows.

Because i wanted to know who i will be wasting my time with, whether you will ruin my game mood or not, whether you acts like a douchebag, whether you play like a retard or not, whether you have issues with Justin Bieber, and all sort of stuff.

I apologize that i dont like to invite random strangers into my house, you could kill my puppy for all i know, and listen to me NOBODY FCKS WITH MY PUPPY.

oh, so writing an opinionative article makes one a pretentious lout who believes that they should be invited with honors to every shell.

or.. the point flew right over your head, and you felt the need to spew inane patronization at me.

no, the point is, link shells should not be exclusive clubs and or part time jobs. all the hoop jumping and clique-ish behavior is detrimental to new and returning players alike to experiencing content. get over yourself.

What's your puppy's name?

Squiggles, u so mad.

That said-
What you really had over there was a horrible experience. Can't say in all of my time playing MMOs (which amounted to the brazilian RO server and a tiny bit of CoH and then here) that I've had to experience such a horrible submission process to a LS. But all of your anger is kind of misplaced, it's definitely not the LS system that is the problem, but you simply ran into bad people.

It happens, human beings gather together being social, and that shit WILL happen. No matter how wrong it is, it's also natural, which is why I prefer my LSes to be made up only of friends. I suggest you get away from those people and seek out real friends, or perhaps make your own mini-group within this LS with the people you like, build up your own secondary shell, focus on the friendship! And then you do runs with them.

1. That wouldn't take too long to figure out
2. Why should they if they don't want too? I know it's the theoretical utopian thing to do, but we don't live in a fantasy world and people are entitled to play however they want. You'll have to deal with it.

You poor, poor soul. I'm so sorry.

lootwhore is what you are

Selena Gomez

It's okay, it's my country. I've grown to be immune to my countrymen's worst traits, this thick hide has been pretty useful over here too.

You guys understand that strong linkshells are built, right? That they're cultivated, often starting with a very limited number of people, and carefully crafted into something someone like the OP ultimately wants to join?

Yes, they actually have to be built, nurtured, maintained, etc.

They don't just fall out of the sky for the fortunate few wrapped with a bow.

So why are they obligated to give you a linkpearl again?

If you don't like the way endgame linkshells recruit or function, feel free to create your own and implement your own vision on how one should handle both.
