i remember the captain thing being brought up before. think it had something to do with it being too hard for the admins to confirm the rank, they'd have to check your title instead of LS community.

FFXIAH only updates what the LS community shows.

The Linkshell Community site doesn't list Captain Rank, thus you don't get anything.

and i wouldn't expect the admins to ever go through every character looking for the captain title to award those extra points. can't say i blame them though XD would be nice if that 50% would just be made a 100% if there are no plans to award the extra points.

Do you really care about achievements? Do you play on an Xbox? Congratulations, your life isn't complete until all achievements are!

I get the point but that's slightly rude for the way the question was asked.

Personally i don't live my life by it but if it tracks everything else great you ever did why not get credit for captain if you already have it?

Just food for thought.

But yeah its the LSC only doing up to First Lt.

Ffxiah.com does track titles when they appear on the Linkshell Community pages, so it can actually record when people become "Captain" so long as it is their active title (or changed back to "Captain" at the WG NPC) at the point of an update check. So feasibly ffxiah.com could be programmed to look for that (title recorded) as confirmation of "Captain rank" for the Achievement Ranking, as a work-around.

That being said, it's much more reasonable to just expect SE to fix their @$@@%@ @$@%$@ site to work the way it should.

Hmm. Isn't it more like, "Without some inelegant, cruddy code to parse through titles and patch the mission data, we cannot display that info. The better solution is for you guys to bug SE to fix their stupid Linkshell Community site."?

Not really, because they only pull the info directly from what's displayed on the Linkshell Community website. I don't think they're willing to basically attempt to hack character info.

We should appreciate what they do for us already. I'm Captain, and I'm not bitching.

Couldn't it be changed to just look your currently scanned titles for the captain title: "Captain" and if found, award you with the points?

I really think SE should just fix the LS community, and everything would be fixed from there.

I wonder just how many actually have sent them e-mails. I haven't, yet... I'll do that in the morning.
