Player Run Companies: a Rallying Cry

[darkstarpoet1]

Honestly what would a company do? This game is moving towards smaller linkshells, less people less drama. You at max need 20 people, meaning 10 people actually logged on and 20 total in ls, to do anything. We don't really have "events" or raids for non-xi folk. I doubt we'll get anything about an alliance system for a while (year to three years), I just don't see what a player run company would accomplish. I would rather have npc run companies, that could possibly give me besieged type content, campaign type content, dungeons, ties to my nations like rank missions in XI. And then add better features to ls e.g., ability to kick members without being close to them(seriously stupid idea to have us have to be near them to kick), a roster list that tells you where in the world that person is, so if that person is on and acting afk you can potentially tell where they are and if they are ditching out on things. And add a /sea all function (but w/e our population is low and SE doesn't want other mmo companies to know)

no i much prefer my linkshell i am in with if being over 100 members. no matter what level you are you always have people to party with and enjoy time with.

player ran companies would be a good way to get different linkshells together to work as a whole towards something larger. that's the way i would use the companies. it would add to the community, which at this time, is very lacking.

What you said actually helps what I said, I'm just saying current linkshell you have flexibility to be in 100 man or 10 man ls, personally I was in larger ls, but do not want to deal with more than 20 peoples differing opinions, I'm not willing to deal with drama in a game in this state basically, so I can have small linkshell. But lets say you find 100 great people, you can still have 100 people. There's no need to add a public company, because linkshells can have massive amounts of people.

Cap is 120 that isn't massive amounts. And just because you have drama with more then 20 doesn't mean everyone does, we have approximately 80-100 active members there is practically zero drama, and we are still seeing approximately 10 new applications a week. We dont want to have to turn away good folks because of the 120 limit or split the shell into 2. Player ran companies was a major feature of FFXIV we just want to know if it is still being planned or not.

It sounds like you are saying "I dont want to deal with more then 20 people, so no one else should be able to." I can see why you have drama issues.
