ATTN: Every MeneoCecus Member

Recently I have noticed certain behaviors and actions from Linkshell members. Now I am all for joking around and having fun but when it comes time for an event, I demand every player in the party to perform to Linkshell standards. Let me explain what I mean by this.

1. Unless you were told you’re the puller - DO NOT PULL!

2. If you are a BLM, RNG, or anything that deals spike damages from afar – LET THE TANK GAIN HATE BEFORE YOU AM2, SIDEWINDER, OR OTHER HATE STEALING ABILITYS YOU WANT TO EXECUTE. If you must cast AM2, sidewinder, etc, at the start of a fight, please ensure you’re next to the mob, so that the mob does not run off ruining any skillchains. It’s very frustrating to the front line players when they are forced to chase a mob because a back line player is incapable of managing hate.

3. If you need to go AFK for any reason, even if it is only for a moment, PLEASE SAY SO! I loathe unannounced AFKs with a passion.

4. If you are only in the Linkshell 2 times a month, do not expect to gain anything anytime soon. First, I’m going to gear players who are full time in the Linkshell. Meaning, if you are a player wanting Homam gear and only show up for Limbus, you are last on the list.

5. If you were asked to come on a mage job for crowd control. Make sure to sleep the mobs and keep them slept. No one asked you to nuke, pull or heal, JUST DO WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.

There are more than just these five things but you get the general idea. There has been a serious lack in effort from the members. Take this as the first warning. If I feel that you are holding the Linkshell back, more then you are helping, then I am afraid that I will have to start trimming the fat. I care for every member of the Linkshell very much but if I need to “kill one to save a few”, then by all means I will.

I cannot do this alone. I need every members help so we can move on to other events. If we can't get through a simple limbus area without at least 2 players taking advantage of the group in some way then we will never improve. This problem needs to stop here and now.

I NEED EVERY MEMBER OF THE LINKSHELL TO POST A COMMENT ON THE BLOG SO I CAN VERIFY WHO RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE. PLEASE POST A COMMENT IN THE COMMENT SECTION, DO NOT USE THE SHOUT FOR ME BOX. THIS WILL LET ME KNOW WHO ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION.
