Link Shell Tools please

I am confused as to why this important stuff was not carried over from FFXI.

I have a theory as to why this and so much other stuff that should have been carried over from FFXI, was not. I personally believe it is because SE hired people who have never had any experience working on an MMO and probably very little experience anywhere else (sarcasm).

I've been a software developer for over 20 years. I, myself made mistakes like that in my early years and have seen other developers/project leads make similar mistakes. For some reason they feel a need to re-invent everything, which wastes much time and money. Ask SE about it now!

Let me beat this issue with my stick a bit more! I too, am sick and tired of breaking and remaking my linkshell because people won't stick with the game. I mean I don't really want to get nasty about this but come on, it's your fault SE, that people come and go so much. You guys really screwed the pooch with this game at release and now it's a year later and still no LS management tools, among other key things? This is very doable as well. Please, give us these soon! Thank you.

I'm shocked no one mentioned this but... Since we can be in 8 shells at once, It'd be nice to be able to talk in all of them without changing. Like /l1 /l2 /l8....

I registered for the forum just so I could agree with this. One bajillion thumbs up, it blows my mind that this functionality is not in the game now.

PLEASE let us talk into any linkshell without having to switch between them. It is so frustrating when conversations are happening in two LS's and I have to keep swapping between the two.

/l1 Hello, first linkshell!
/l2 Hello, other linkshell!

omg that would be so the best.

Two things, One the Devs werent all replaced, only some of the staff was replaced during the transition, It more or less is new leadership then new devs, The reasons why features like this are forgotten is mainly due to project planning, alot of things get pushed back easily when bigger assignments come up.

Two, If you keep voicing your wants in a proactive and visible manner like this thread, I am sure they will be addressed and likely be thrown into a patch. Just word of warning, alot of patch planning are done well in advance, so it may take two patches being released before you see a patch with what it is you addressed. This is just because they plan development very far out, and move certain assignments up priority based on what they see feasable in the release time frame of a patch
