Linkshells are being assigned to characters using Guildwork plugin. As of right now, this is the only reliable method to get your linkshells assigned to your character.

The plugin does this automatically, no extra action is needed.

I have a bunch of old social pearls that i noticed pop up today from this. If I drop all these pearls will guildwork update and remove them all? Because I rather not have all these ls's show up on my page lol

I guess this is also why I dropped 30 ranks, for some reason? :(

I have an invalid LS URL. Does the guildwork plugin bypass this?

I've got a few linkshells that I don't use showing up on my profile. I don't see any way to change this.

I was ranked 480 (server), now I'm ranked 961. Quite a bit of a shuffle. So we are ranked on what we have done and who our friends are? High school all over again O.o

I think what happened is that Scragg had changed the scanning algorithm to no longer cut-off 'old scans' from inactive characters from the ranking calculations.

For the changes made to implement the GW Linkshell functionality, apparently he re-implemented (intentionally or not) those characters into the rankings that had old scan dates (like "1 month ago", "15 months ago", etc.) as part of the DB sweep, I would guess, as the Linkshell groups update themselves.

Since Scragg said: Linkshells are being assigned to characters using Guildwork plugin.

I would assume so. Since LSs are now being updated via GW's system.

How to remove a whole bunch of inactive Linkshells that have been long ago tossed away but still show up on FFXIAH?

If I could offer a suggestion Scragg.

Having Guildwork pull the linkshells we currently own is a good idea, but we should have control over our profile page displaying only what we wish to display. The Linkshell page could have a checkbox by each linkpearl, giving the user the option to show the Linkshells they wish to display on their profile page.

This is only temporary from what I'm guessing since he says

and for the LS community being down atm. Til LSC works again... people may have to deal with this for a moment.

The suggestion sounds good for a checkbox, hopefully it doesnt make too much a hassle since he's already busy with rl stuff as it is.

I agree, I like the idea of it pulling LS info from guildwork. But having a check box system to display which ls's you want is a good idea.

This update is hysterical. I woke up to find that my old social LS from like 2005 is the top viewed…
And I’m the only one who still has a pearl (probably the only one who still plays out of that group of friends)

…kinda feel stalked :D

Good idea. Best of all, politely put. Sometimes I don't know how Scragg doesn't just remove ffxiah rankings, or makes the top 100 selling ah items' prices invisible just out of spite.

Not that I'm an angel, but still.

The reason this post is even up is because Square Enix still doesnt have Linkshell Community up and running yet. There is no other way to update or add Linkshells at this point in time. Its either something or nothing. At least Scragg has some way to add linkshells. He could just say, oh well and call it a day.

At least show some gratitude.

I personally think all that Scragg has done with this site is amazing and thank him for all he does on a daily/weekly basis with this site. If he tore this down, I bet everyone would cry. I know I would.
