Hmm, I don't know.

It takes about an hour to get enough people to do a levelink party (strangers) unless it's around reset in which case it's easier. I agree that it should be easier to get a party to gether (an hour is way too long), but I find it hard to agree that leve linking is antisocial.

I hate guildleves as much as the next person, but I don't think theyre antisocial considering the fact that it would be even more antisocial if you couldn't link them. Consider the fact that everyone in a static leve party is socialising with those 7 other people every 36 hours and then you see that it's not asocial at all. It's just mildly exclusionary for people who are not so calculating and organised.

I like to be spontaneous, so i just join see what's going in LS chat or in /shout channel. Lots of people still do leve-link party shouts. I see multiple people doing it per day when I play.
