[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[darkstarpoet1]

agreed regular members do not realize how awkward it is to be head of a linkshell. you have members gone for months, but cannot get rid of them. it causes the shell size to look big, but with only a few people actually online.

at the very least they could make it to where if a person is gone for a set length of time they fall off the linkshell roster or move to a seperate group called inactives that do not take space on the linkshell roster. they if you have 100 members, but 50 haven't been online in a month you only show as 50 members and 50 inactives and can give their spots away when the space is needed.

this should be a basic feature to have as a ls leader that they could promote/kick members from a linkshell regardless of where the person is and if they are online of not.

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....

i agree needs to be fixed

[Leowilde]

Meeting the new members in person when I give them their Linkpearls, is a good thing that should not be removed. However, it is obligatory to be able to release inactive or unwanted members anytime, anywhere. We know of cases where unwanted members run away and hide to prevent being kicked, making it impossible for the Linkshell Master to remove them from the LS. And members who are never online even more so.

I also agree with Darkstarpoet1 that automaticaly sorting members could be a handy feature, if done correctly.

Jinko the reason it is not in that subsection is cause I'm lazy lol I never really go to any forums but general and I assume most are also the same way.

Thats kind of my point, if you want things to change then you should be posting in the correct place, being lazy isn't a good enough excuse.

The Linkshell system in this game should be fixed by the time they even release the Companies. Think of how many times you'd have to bug a company leader to add in a LS reform whenever you want to do a sweep?

[Micrll]

Really, this is frankly inexcusable at this point. I don't care how busy the development team is, this is a KEY feature that should have been implemented ages ago. The fact that this has not been worked on is simply a testament to how disorganized and in some cases idiotic the development teams have been.

Its not like these are hard features to create, there does not need to be "discussions", surveys, meetings, or deliberations on these features. There needs to be the ability to kick inactive members or members from a distance, this is something virtually every other online game has done since the beginning of time.

As for the argument that other "more important" things need to be fixed, I'm not buying it anymore. This feature should honestly take less than a week to develop / debug and test. Possibly even less if the original coder of the linkshell system was to sit down and hammer it out. If the reason they have not fixed it is because it is "difficult", well then we might as well shut the whole thing down because there is no hope for more advanced changes to work / be what we are looking for.

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.

Will necro bump until a kick feature is at least in the game (on offline users).
I must remove the dead weight from my shell ;;

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.
