[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[Rowyne]

Also, "crowd control" is about controlling the behavior of multiple monsters, not players.

Yes, crowd control (or CC as it's been nicknamed in gaming) is an advanced combat mechanic accomplished by such spells like bind and sleep, so that a group of monsters does not overwhelm you.

I'm really not trying to be snarky or troll here, but one reason these threads aren't looked at is because they aren't tagged properly. Plus, tagging isn't done through the title, it must be tagged at the bottom.

I'm only saying this because this is actually a topic that I believe to be very important. One thing that plagues FFXIV is the lack of community, and the tools to manage it.

I personally felt that FFXI didn't have robust enough linkshell management. To actually go backward in that regard is frustrating. The only thing that is an improvement over FFXI is the fact we can see the member list (including who is online, and who is offline).

What is truly a community-breaking issue is the fact that linkshells must break and reform when they reach their member limit because of how many people have quit the game and cannot be removed from the LS roster. How many members are permanently lost when they return to the game, only to find they are no longer in a linkshell? There is no messaging system, so they quite possibly have no way of knowing that the linkshell has reformed. They simply assume it was disbanded or that they were forcibly removed. If we were allowed to prune offline members who have quit with no intention of returning, this wouldn't be happening.

Sadly this topic is not getting as many responses as I had hoped, if people do not respond to it I doubt the Devs will even look at it.

welcome to my world, been campaigning this for awhile now....

Keith that's the problem this has been an ongoing discussion for months now and this topic alone for a week, yet still no response from SE on any of these threads about fixing the linkshell issues. I know it is not just us complaining but also the Japanese and European Players. When is SE going to finally acknowledge the LS administration issues and do something about them.

Problem is the staff don't acknowledge threads with less then 75 posts or 1000 views. Only way for us to get this acknowledged would be to get a petition going with lots of support.

Sadly people would rather talk about stuff already in the works or that makes zero sense then help bring things like this to the attention of SE.

Then that is an issue with the staff not the members of the forums. The staff is obviously not paying attention to the forums as this is now the 3rd or 4th topic on this very issue, hence the reason I placed it under general rather then buried in a subsection. Unfortunately as said before many members of linkshells have no idea what an issue this is as they do not see the administration side of it. Members I invite half the time do not realize that you need to be next to someone to even invite, let alone kick.

Did everyone give up? This fell to page 11

I agree to, This is one of the things they should have taken from XI.

[Keftenk]

Well, to be fair, XI's LS administration tools are terrible even, but far better then XIV's. Unless they've changed since ToAU days.

No they haven't changed XIV would be fine if we could kick ppl who never come online, I wonder if Devs have it this way to prevent us from booting ppl so hopefully when ppl come back they have something to come back to.

I can only agree. We need to be able to remove inactive members from our linkshells. My Linkshell has also had to reform now and move to another Linkshell since the old one was almost full and we are unable to remove inactive members.
