Player Run Companies: a Rallying Cry

[Krausus]

And I'm just asking (along with others) what a Player Company could do that a Linkshell would not be able to do, or have the added function of doing. If there isn't anything, then there is no point in having a Player Company at all.

Well my understanding is linkshells are supposed to only be a means of communication across great distances, where as companies are more of a clan or guild of like minded individuals where being a member of such clan/guild provided perks suchs as group crafting, housing, and battle content. I remember reading that there would be company content that you would use ships/airships to get to. Also companies would not have the ridiculous player cap that LS's have as well as more functions such as ranks, the ability to remove folks if need be, pretty much all the functions LS's are lacking.

It doesn't take a genius to see the difference between companies and linkshells.

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.
