I have a small-to-medium-sized LS I'm happy with, which means any other shell I did join (not that I have the inventory to comfortably hold another pearl) would only be on a "hey, I need help!" basis, which just seems incredibly rude to me.
It's got nothing to do with being anti-social.
If anything it's mainly an issue because a number of folks in my LS seem to be winding down on the game. Some of them seem frustrated with the expansion for one reason or another, so maybe I won't have much of a choice a few months from now. Who knows.

If you stay with one linkshell you are more apt to get help. No one has ever done well in our linkshell that floated in between linkshells. If that isn't it, then you need to find a linkshell that helps its members and meshes with your personality.

Both Skirmish and Reives are have low or nearly non-existent participation on my server, making both avenues of progression quite slow.
Careful playing the server card when we are both on ragnarok. While i was joining plasma farms, I personally saw 2 separate shouts fill up and shove off for both wildskeeper AND skirmish last night alone. They exist.
But even ignoring that fact completely, the point is there are indeed delve shouts that will take 99 r/m/e. If you are interested in other events too that's great, but there's no reason not to delve, too. It only takes 30k to get a weapon. That may take you a full two weeks depending on your luck, but once you have the weapon, no more problem, yes?

I've not seen any Skirmish shouts at all since the expansion launched, personally. Don't insinuate that I'm lying just because your experience has been different from mine.
As for Reives, I was actually referring to regular old Reives--I should have been more clear. Participation has been way down, at least during the times I normally go, which has made farming the 100k bayld take much longer than it did prior to the update. Wildskeeper shouts are frequent enough.
And here's the thing: I don't *have* REM 99. Not everyone does. My only Emp is a Kannagi that is a long way from 99 (and Ninja doesn't have a use in Delve anyway). That's why I need a new weapon from Skirmish/Wildskeepers.

I see plenty of shouts for REMD weapons on Ragnarok, personally.

You shouldn't need to shout for 2 weeks for LB10 if your linkshell helps you. Sorry, that is pretty crappy.

Why doesn't anyone ever mention REMC (COIN) D ? CUZ 99 WoE are still noteworthy for entry level for delve

BC people always referred to them as empy -1 lol. I liked my Shamash though. I *think* I was the second maschu on Ragnarok. I was the first ukko's fury many people saw. Was funny 1 shotting mobs and getting yelled at for ruby light back in the old abyssea parties!

Well problem solved. I'm sure your linkshell will organize runs on the new events, wk reives, delve, and fracture if they haven't already.

It's not really an event shell, to be honest. And I'm fine with that. They're good people and that's all I really want out of a shell.

Honostly, upheaval is becoming the ws of choice for GA that don't have 99 ukon. With delve ga I easily hit 4k with brd and cor. Then I turn and see a sam hit 7k.... and I cry.

I'm stuck in the situation where I got into 1 Delve and 1 Tax'et run with the KI cleared but can't seem to get an invite for farming or other NM runs from most shouts even with an Iclamar +2 to hold me over until I can get access to a Bloodbath Axe or get my Ukon up to 85. Looks like I gotta wait until I can setup my own run.

An 85 Ukon should change nothing and if you're not taking it to 99 then leave it where it is. Ukon of any level should stay in storage until the r/e/m update.

Ah, mi gente. Como se enoja por cosas tan chiquitas.
After someone shouted for Delve plasm farming lastnight and added DDs need Base Delve weapon or better a HUGE /yell war ensued so let's see if we can clear some of this up once and for all. I've hardly logged on over the past 3-4 weeks as I've been busy, started the day with 0 Plasm, KIs etc. I'm a warrior and have a 99Ukon.
That day an LS member said there was a shout I should attend for a Delve KI I'll need, so I did, took us a couple of attempts but we killed the moth, I then saw a plasm farming shout and joined it.
Coming back to the game within 4 hours I have a KI and 4.4k Plasm.
2 hours later a person I'm familiar with and respect as a player shouts for Delve Plasm farming adding Delve weapon DDs only (or words to that effect) I ask if he can sneak a 99 Ukon War in and he says "Sorry but it wouldn't be fair on the others :/ " He knows I'm a very good war as we've done plenty of things in the past, I know he also has a 99Ukon (and 99 Rag, Bravura etc etc) He assures me that at the moment the benfits of Delve weapons so greatly eclipse R/M/E that by taking Delve weapon DDs only they massively increase their farming productivity. I completely understand this and wish him well on his run.
Now cue the torrent of abuse via /sh "Just cos I don't have a delve weapon it doesn't mean I'm a bad player, fuck you retards" and so on it goes.
Apart from the people that had insta bruised ego from their relic not entitling them to top DD status anymore does anyone think it's genuinely unfair to say Delve weapon only? Without much time or effort I acquired 1/7 of a Delve weapon, I just can't farm with the big boys....yet
