Bah, I forgot my other login name...
Xellith, the reason why we do have requirements is because of a few reasons. The reason Avhienda listed is one of the main concerns. At a usual time we have only around 35-45 players on normally. But when we go do a sky run or something like that, we get upt to 57 people on at a time. Due to this, we're limiting recruiting to mainly certain jobs as well as people meeting certain requirements.
Granted it would be easy enough to help out a good canidate with such mission or quest, but we also want to know that they can get something done by themselves. Whether it be by scheduling an event or attending one and following the directions to complete it successfully.
Second, we've been going through a few adjustments and don't want just any asshat applying to our linkshell. I do not wish to have someone apply just because he meets the requirements either. We have a voting process and because of this, even if the select few that we're looking for - job wise - get denied an LS pearl, then they don't get in. Granted, I'm sure that's unlikely to happen with most people who apply to our LS, so please, please don't be discouraged lol.
Finally, like Avhi stated...if a person wishes to apply to our LS and is having trouble with their missions like ZMs for instance and we have them scheduled. It's always possible that they can attend the event. They just need to register on our forums and check out the event section frequently. Then again, there's always the case where they can't come for a certain event, whether it's due to level restriction or what not, but more than not they'll be allowed to come. We've helped numerous people on occasions, whether it be ZMs, Proms, Coffer Keys, Optical Hats, etc.
