Ya like the only shells on my servers are reported of botting lol so its hard to start my own linkshell because of this
Well, if its only 2 other LS camping HNM, you should have a chance at claim, but its gonna be really slim. It is really difficult to beat out a bot, though it can be done.
Why do they require so much from members? Well, I've always looked at it like this...
The more you have accomplished in-game, more access you have, more clears you have, the more it shows you're willing to put in effort. A LOT of people want to only be Weekend Warriors in endgame shells, which is why its hard to start a new shell on most servers.
Also, the more you have accomplished, SHOULD mean the more experience you have. HNM shells need members with decent equipment and a lot of experience. The better geared and more experience, the less people you need at one monster.
Bahamut for Example:
LS A: Comes out to Fafnir with 1.5-2 Full Alliances. Takes 40-59 minutes to slay Faf/Nid.
LS B: Comes out with a full alliance, and a few people that can switch out for people that die. Take 15-40 minutes to kill faf, 40-50 to kill Nid.
LS C: Comes out with a partial alliance, kills Fafnir in 15 mins, kills Nid in maybe 20-30 mins.
LS D: Can kill Fafnir with 6 people in 10-15 minutes.
LS D has insane gear. Insane merits, but LS A claims 98% of every pop.
Gear, merits, experience all make a huge difference with HNMs. Try taking an alliance of people who only got their first LV75 within the past month, versus people that've been playing the endgame/HNM scene for a (Long Time). There's gonna be a huge difference.
Why Dynamis/Sea/Sky/Einherjar etc etc access for most HNM Shells? Because even though they're called an "HNM LS", HNM aren't usually the only thing they do. lol
Barrd, I like your avatar. What's it from?
