It's like naming your linkshell "Dragon Quest" and then claim that none of you are fans of the series or even played it. It can be true. Maybe you just thought the name sounded cool. Maybe the old members were actually Dragon Quest fans but aren't on the shell anymore, and the new ones really had nothing to do with that.

Regardless, if I see someone on that linkshell, I'd assume they are Dragon Quest fans. It's a logical association.
Or maybe when the original leader including myself and Bert left 11 for WoW the FFXI LS shouldn't have kept our name. Wasn't aware the LS got such a bad rep from the members that didn't reform and tried to keep the name since it was made popular back then.
