Petition against possible reduction of Linkshells.

[Mishakai]

Like i tried to state earlier, but the trolls and harassers just couldn't resist trolling and harassing...

This change will do nothing but make people who actually do content in larger groups, and enjoy it, leave. There are far better solutions to the problem they think they have than capping group size at 8; like say reducing sp for each group member above 8 until at current max (15 I believe) the SP that each person gets from killing a mob is no different than the SP they would have gotten solo.

That fixes the "zerg grind" issue, while still allowing people who enjoy larger groups to play the game as they have been since release.

They wont reduce linkshells

itd serve no purpose to do so, so dont even worry about it
no gameplay purpose, no social puprose, nothing

[AlexiaKidd]

As soon as we heard this was the direction they were taking we thought big LS's would not be needed so instead we built a smaller LS with quality players over going the quantity and have been waiting for these changes to be implemented so that we can jump straight on whatever they through at us.

I'm glad to see our planning hasn't been wasted.

it wouldn't surprise me if eorzeapedia exaggerated this

Very likely this is the case. Eorzeapedia is not exactly a bastion of accurate reporting, even when they aren't focusing their attention on their useless podcasts that maybe two people listen to (which is most of the time).

Limiting the size of linkshells would be a bad idea, because it's the primary form of communication in the game, and the only one that allows us to talk to multiple people at once regardless of what area they're currently in. It would not be a good idea to compartmentalize the community like that.

all it reads is they will support smaller not reduce Linkshells. So it ppl not reading the info corrrectly. If they were going to reduce the size it would say "we may reduce the size" It don't.

tbh that was writen a while ago, yet people are NOW seeing it as them reducing LS sizes.

It doesn't say they are reducing them. Only supporting smaller sizes. Meaning for LS based content allow for smaller sizes to parket if given choice.
mak you threaten to rage quit over SE choosing to limit party sizes.

Having 15 man parties seemed good in therory, but even I agree is too much. If you are always with your friend and never made new ones, you will stop getting along with your friends. You started that post, you went berserk when no one agreed... civily.

You don;t nreed to ALWAYS group with the same people. It gets stale after a while and soon what would you guys share for game stories if you are always together?Anyway

they are not reducing LSsizes or they would have done so already. Or make mention of it.

I am sure this doesn't mean the LS limit will ever lower all the way down to 10. That would be plain retarded.
